As part of the Anmum Materna “Eat Right, Worry Less” campaign, real mums across Malaysia are opening up about their pregnancy experiences, from fatigue and sleepless nights to tummy troubles and poor appetite, and discovering how mindful nutrition can make all the difference.
These mums are sharing their stories to inspire others, encouraging expectant mothers everywhere to eat right, worry less, and take better care of themselves throughout pregnancy.
Nourishing Mums for a Strong and Smart Start
Pregnancy is a time of major physical and emotional change, and with it often comes a mix of symptoms, fatigue, bloating, and irregular sleep that can sometimes be traced back to malnourishment.
The “Eat Right, Worry Less” campaign aims to educate and empower pregnant mums to recognise the root causes of these discomforts, which often come from two main factors:
- Undernutrition: Not eating enough or skipping meals.
- Overnutrition: Eating too much of the wrong foods (empty calories).
By highlighting the importance of eating right and choosing nutrient-dense foods, the campaign shows how mums can maintain healthy energy levels and support their pregnancy.
What Makes Anmum Materna Different
Backed by science and trusted by mums, Anmum Materna is Malaysia’s No. 1 prenatal milk, formulated to provide complete nourishment for both mum and baby.
Each glass contains a powerhouse of nutrients:
- Probiotic and Prebiotic: support good digestion and strengthen natural immunity.
- DHA, Gangliosides and MFGM: help brain cell formation and connectivity for baby’s development.
- Folate and Calcium: essential for cell growth, strong bones, and healthy teeth.
- Iron, Zinc, and Protein: support blood formation and tissue repair.
- And it’s the only prenatal milk with no added sugars, making it a healthier choice for expectant mums aiming for balance.
Mums Who Are Eating Right and Worrying Less
For Nur Hidayah Zubit, Sasha Aziz, and Izzah Mohd, eating right changed everything.
Dayah struggled with fatigue and sleepless nights until she focused on balanced meals and two glasses of Anmum Materna daily to stay energised.
Sasha, a mum of three, battled morning sickness before learning it could be due to poor nutrition. Now, she eats mindfully, exercises twice a week, and loves that Anmum Materna isn’t too sweet.
Izzah discovered that tiredness and mood swings aren’t just hormonal but signs of nutrient deficiency. So, now she nourishes her body with healthy food and Anmum Materna twice a day.
Together, they show that mindful eating and proper nutrition can make pregnancy feel lighter and healthier.
Strong Mums, Healthy Starts
By choosing nutrient-rich meals and adding two glasses of Anmum Materna daily, these mums show how simple, consistent habits can help boost energy, ease common pregnancy symptoms, and support both mum and baby.
