During pregnancy, a woman’s body is put to the test. Building a human being from A to Z is really not easy and requires crazy energy. And we know that the body’s fuel is food! To guarantee a healthy and adapted diet, without headaches and throughout pregnancy, Anouchka de Halleux founded Nutrimom. A catering service and an online store where mothers-to-be (and their entourage wishing to spoil them #gifeaudenaissance) can order lunches, dinners but also home-cooked sweet and savory snacks specially designed for their physiological needs.
In case of desire for a child, the woman will live 3 stages: before, during and following. And at each of these stages, from preparation for conception to postpartum, her nutritional needs and those of her future baby evolve. During pregnancy, it is therefore essential to consume a sufficient quantity of nutrients such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, vitamins and minerals. They are necessary for the growth and development of the fetus, as well as to support physiological changes in the mother. The pregnant woman’s caloric needs also increase to support the growing fetus and to meet the increased energy demands of her own body. However, the exact amount of extra calories needed can vary depending on a variety of factors, such as age, pre-pregnancy weight, level of physical activity, and overall health of the mom-to-be. A balanced and varied diet is essential to prevent nutritional deficiencies in the mother and the fetus. For example, folic acid is crucial for the formation of the primitive nervous system in the fetus, thus reducing the risk of birth defects. Iron is also essential for the production of red blood cells and the prevention of anemia in the mother.
In short, you will understand, nutrition is a science. So if you don’t have the time or the inclination to do it, the ideal is to delegate the task and go directly to the tasting part.

Nutrimom: what are the advantages?
Heaps ! Anouchka de Halleux is passionate. She trained at PIGS in human nutritherapy and has created Nutrimom, pregnant with her first child.
“My concept, I mainly dedicate it to women, even if some of my clients tell me that their men and children gladly taste my dishes (laughs). They are healthy dishes, so anyone can eat them, but I offers menus specifically adapted to women’s needs, whether women are in the process of wanting a child, pregnant or in the postpartum period.I ask my clients to fill out an online form, I collect information regarding them, their way of life, their possible allergies and I adapt my preparations according to their recommendations but also on the basis of nutritional and scientific information on the physiological needs at each stage, the hormonal changes they will undergo and the possible deficiencies that ‘they might meet.’ Finally, what Nutrimom offers is clearly the dream plan: to have balanced and home-cooked meals delivered to your home. “Eating healthy is really important, both for the mother and the child in-utero ; except sometimes, pregnant, we are disgusted by food and we are exhausted, we have neither the desire nor the time to start shopping and cooking, so I do it for them and they only have to heat up and enjoy.
In her preparations, Anouchka de Halleux gives pride of place to seasonal fruits and vegetables, she adds lentils, quinoa, good fats, sufficient protein, she ensures the presence of essential vitamins (B12, vitamin C & D , iron, calcium), she uses superior quality cold-pressed oils, she juggles with spices and aromatic herbs and offers a healthy diet, as natural as possible, ultra gourmet, which will satiate the stomach and satisfy the taste buds. “We tend to forget that food has an impact on the body, the physical, but also the mental. A malnourished mother will end up exhausted and exhausted, the risk of having post- partum increases”.
