Understanding Gut Health During Pregnancy
Pregnancy can bring natural changes to your digestive system. As your body adapts, you may notice symptoms such as bloating, constipation or changes in digestion. Hormonal changes, dietary habits and changes in physical activity can all influence digestive symptoms during pregnancy.
Eating a varied, balanced diet, staying hydrated and keeping active where appropriate are important parts of looking after your health during pregnancy. If you're experiencing persistent or troublesome digestive symptoms, speak to your midwife or GP for personalised advice.
Biomel products are not intended to treat pregnancy-related digestive symptoms and are not specifically formulated for use during pregnancy.

Probiotics and Pregnancy: Things to Consider
Before pregnancy
If you're planning a pregnancy and are considering probiotics, speak to your GP or another qualified healthcare professional about whether a supplement is appropriate for your individual needs. It's also important to review any supplements you're already taking.
During pregnancy
Pregnancy can change your nutritional needs, so it's important to check the ingredients and serving instructions of any supplements you're considering. Biomel is not specifically formulated for pregnancy, and suitability should be discussed with your midwife, GP or another qualified healthcare professional before use.
Alongside a healthy lifestyle
A varied, balanced diet containing fibre-rich foods, adequate hydration and appropriate physical activity are important during pregnancy. Individual dietary needs can vary, so speak to your midwife or dietitian if you need personalised nutrition advice.
Speak to your healthcare professional
Every pregnancy is different. Before taking probiotics or introducing any new supplement during pregnancy, speak to your midwife, GP or another qualified healthcare professional. They can help you assess the ingredients alongside your individual health needs and any prenatal supplements you're already taking.
Looking after your digestive wellbeing: Eating regular, balanced meals, including a variety of fibre-containing foods and drinking enough fluids can help maintain healthy dietary habits during pregnancy. If you're experiencing digestive discomfort or constipation, speak to your midwife or GP about suitable ways to manage your symptoms.
Pregnancy, Probiotics and Everyday Nutrition
A varied, balanced diet provides many of the nutrients needed during pregnancy. Eating a range of fruit, vegetables, wholegrains and fibre-rich foods can help you maintain healthy eating habits as your nutritional needs change.
Certain supplements are specifically recommended during pregnancy, including folic acid and vitamin D, while others may not be necessary or appropriate for everyone. Probiotics are not routinely recommended as an essential pregnancy supplement, so speak to your midwife or GP before introducing them into your diet.

FAQs
Pregnancy and Probiotics: Your Questions Answered
Some probiotics have been studied during pregnancy, but their suitability depends on the specific product, ingredients and your individual health circumstances. Speak to your midwife or GP before introducing a new supplement, particularly if you're already taking prenatal vitamins or other supplements.
There isn't enough evidence to recommend one probiotic product as the best choice for everyone during pregnancy. Research varies between specific strains and formulations, and products may contain additional ingredients that need to be considered. If you're thinking about taking probiotics while pregnant, ask your midwife or GP for advice on what's appropriate for you.
Bloating is common during pregnancy and can be influenced by hormonal changes and changes in digestion. There isn't enough reliable evidence to recommend probiotics specifically for relieving pregnancy-related bloating. If symptoms are persistent, severe or accompanied by other concerning symptoms, speak to your midwife or GP.
If you're already taking probiotics when you become pregnant, speak to your midwife or GP about whether to continue. They can review the specific product, its ingredients and your individual circumstances alongside any other supplements or medications you're taking.
