Pregnancy Support

Pregnancy is an exciting time for women, but it also comes with many questions on how to optimize health for both mom and baby. Current research suggests that the choices made in pregnancy can shape a child’s health and determine the long-term risk for a growing number of diseases. Patient-centred medical care during pregnancy works with women to educate themselves about optimal nutrition, supplementation and lifestyle during pregnancy and also address any pregnancy related concerns that may arise. This care extends beyond birth to the “4th trimester” to support women during the postpartum period.

Some common pregnancy-related conditions include:

General health promotion
Nausea and vomiting
Anxiety and depression
Insomnia and sleep support
Hyperemesis gravidarum
Constipation, heartburn and other digestive concern
Gestational diabetes
Fatigue and energy optimization

Preeclampsia
Urinary tract and other infections
Edema and swelling
Iron deficiency anemia
Leg cramps and restless legs
Birth education
Labour and delivery
Postpartum and breastfeeding

Naturopathic postpartum support

The transition into motherhood can be a very exciting, but overwhelming time. The postpartum period doesn’t end at six weeks, the time when most families are discharged from their pregnancy and birth care providers and neither should post partum care. Dr. Shaw works with patients beyond those early days and creates safe, non judgemental, evidence-based treatment plans to keep both parents and baby thriving. The goal is to make sure you are well informed and supported every step of the way so you can make the best decisions possible for you and your family.
