My daughter is expecting and I wanted to help her with food ideas, so I signed up for the plans and passed them on to her. Having a clear weekly structure has made it so much easier for her to stick to healthy meals, and I've learned a few things myself. The shopping lists are very handy and the whole thing is well laid out. She says it's been a real help through the early months.
Read moreHonestly the meal plans are decent and the recipes are quick, but the app kept logging me out every time I switched to my messages so I had to keep typing my password in again. Still using it though, the weekly plan saves me faffing about on a Sunday.
Read moreI'd been paying a registered dietitian for a few sessions, and compared to that this is obviously far cheaper, though it's not personalised the way a one to one consult is. The meal plans cover the basics well for a pregnancy diet, with sensible portion notes and iron sources flagged. The only real gap for me was that the plan didn't account for my gestational diabetes, so I had to adjust things…
Read moreI started with a free pregnancy diet guide, then tried a paid cookbook, and eventually bought the meal plan bundle here. The plan itself is well organised and the recipes are doable on a weeknight, which is what I needed. My only real niggle is that the recipes assume you have quite a few specialist ingredients on hand, so I had to make a couple of trips to find things like tahini and chia seeds. Still, it's a good resource.
The shopping list thing is the best bit, it groups everything by aisle so I'm not wandering round Tesco for ages. Plans are easy to follow and I'm not stressing about eating right. Would've liked a few more vegan options but otherwise really useful.

Compared to the free NHS leaflets on pregnancy nutrition, this was way more practical, with actual meal ideas and a clear breakdown of what to eat each trimester. I'd been using a random app before and it was mostly calorie counting which made me anxious. Signing up took about five minutes and I got the first plan the same day. Only thing I'd change is the recipe search, it's a bit clunky on my phone.
Honestly it's good, the meal plans are well laid out and the recipes are easy enough. I compared it with a couple of other pregnancy nutrition sites and some were cheaper for similar content. Still, I liked the trimester split and the food safety notes. Would stick with it for the second trimester.
I needed a clearer idea of what to eat once my midwife flagged my iron was low. I compared a few options, including a free app and a book, and this one felt the most practical for everyday meals. The price is reasonable but not the cheapest. Delivery of the plans was instant, which I liked.
