In this Singapore Motherhood feature, Dr Harvard Lin, Consultant Obstetrician, Gynaecologist and Urogynaecologist at the Asian Obstetrics & Gynaecology Centre (AOGC), explains that optimal prenatal nutrition should begin before conception, as it has lasting effects on both maternal and child health. He debunks the “eating for two” myth — pregnancy raises nutritional requirements more than calorie needs — and covers the role of prenatal supplements for folic acid and iron, foods and substances to limit or avoid, and the value of staying well hydrated throughout pregnancy.
