Pregnancy Counseling & Diet Guidance

Pregnancy is not just a physical journey—it’s an emotional and lifestyle transformation. Dr. Namrata Parida provides in-depth pregnancy counseling and diet guidance tailored to each stage of pregnancy and the unique needs of every expecting mother.

From the very first consultation, Dr. Parida ensures patients understand what to expect in each trimester. She addresses common concerns such as morning sickness, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and changing body image. Counseling includes discussions on activity levels, safe travel, mental wellness, sexual health, and preparing for labor and delivery. First-time mothers and families often find this guidance invaluable in navigating new experiences with confidence and peace of mind.

Diet plays a crucial role in a healthy pregnancy, influencing the baby’s growth and the mother’s energy levels. Dr. Parida evaluates nutritional habits, lifestyle, and any medical conditions such as gestational diabetes or anemia before designing a personalized diet plan. Patients receive specific guidance on key nutrients—iron, folic acid, calcium, protein—and are advised on food safety, hydration, and portion control. She also addresses dietary restrictions and offers practical solutions for vegetarian, diabetic, or culturally specific diets.

Special focus is given to weight management. Gaining too much or too little weight during pregnancy can pose risks, and Dr. Parida educates mothers on maintaining a healthy balance. She also explains the importance of prenatal supplements and their timing to enhance fetal development.

Psychological well-being is another key part of her counseling. Dr. Parida creates a space where patients feel comfortable discussing fears, emotional shifts, or anxiety. Her holistic guidance helps women feel supported—not just as patients, but as individuals preparing for motherhood on all levels.
