Eating During Pregnancy eBook: pregnancy nutrition – how to master healthy eating during pregnancy.
Credible, science backed information on what to eat during pregnancy, so that you can eat to give your baby the best start in life, while taking care of your own body.
In a recent study, 90% of women in early pregnancy (less than 12 weeks) were found to have incorrect knowledge about pregnancy nutrition.
With so much conflicting information available online about pregnancy nutrition, it can be difficult to sift the fact from fiction.
I studied medicine at the University of Cambridge and have over a decade of experience as a paediatric doctor. Additionally I have a PhD in genetics from University College London. I am a Registered Nutritionist with the Association for Nutrition and was commissioned to write the first degree of it’s kind combining culinary, nutrition and health.

Foreword by NHS Obstetrician Dr Brooke Vandermolen, @theOBGYNmum.
“Knowing what is safe to eat and drink in pregnancy can be a complete minefield. Women are often given such over-cautious advice from well-meaning health professionals that it can be difficult to understand what you can actually enjoy whilst you are pregnant.
Dr Harriet Holme has written a fantastic, and extremely comprehensive guide for anyone navigating pregnancy. She covers topics that often get confused, by giving up-to-date evidence to clear up myths around nutrition.
I would love all my patients to get a chance to read this guide, which can empower parents-to-be to feel able to make positive choices rather than feeling restricted and misunderstood.”
