Nutritional drink
Women taking part in our study have been randomly selected to receive a standard nutritional drink containing vitamins and minerals recommended for before and during pregnancy or the study nutritional drink, enriched with additional vitamins, minerals and probiotics.
The drink comes in the form of a sachet to be mixed with water and taken twice a day. Participants have been asked to take the drink before they become pregnant and will continue taking it throughout their pregnancy.
The nutritional drink will provide participants with the vitamins & minerals recommended for before & during pregnancy.
Ultrasounds
Taking part allows participants to have extra ultrasound scans during pregnancy at 7, 28 & 34 weeks, along with having their NHS ultrasound scans at 12 &19 weeks in our dedicated suite. Participants will be given pictures of their baby to take home.
