Abstract

 Maternal nutrition plays a deciding role in the progression of pregnancy and the health of the newborn. If the mother’s intake is not sufficient it will limit the supply of nutrients to the foetus and may lead to foetal malnutrition. Fe deficiency will lead to decreased level of Hb and hence oxygen delivery to the foetus. Deficiency of folate is known to lead to neural tube defects.Hence nutrition requires special attention during pregnancy, particularly during the second and third trimesters. Unlike heredity or pre-existing conditions, diet is a modifiable factor and so determination of its knowledge and practices along with the factors affecting these is essential to figure out the lacunae and in finding solutions to them. This study was conducted to assess the knowledge and practices of diet during pregnancy among Indian women coming for regular ante-natal check-ups to the Obstetric OPD of Safdarjung Hospital, New Delhi, India
