Description

The period of intrauterine growth and development is one of the most vulnerable in the life cycle of human beings. At this stage, nutrition has a vital role, not only in gestation but also in the health of the pregnant woman.Nutritional deficiency during pregnancy may be due to loss or malabsorption of food as a result of a disease, or secondary to inadequate intakes, lack of knowledge on adequate prenatal nutrition, or dietary taboos associated with pregnancy, with potential adverse consequences both for the mother and the fetus.Supplementation with micronutrients in the prenatal stage might reduce maternal morbidity and mortality, either by a direct effect on the treatment of a pregnancy-related disease, or, indirectly, by reducing the risk of complications during labor; at the same time, it can have a protective effect on the fetus.A woman’s nutritional health should be assessed preconceptionally for the purpose of optimizing maternal, fetal and infant health; also, this will allow making any dietary changes before conception, with appropriate adjustments later on, based on the needs of pregnancy and breastfeeding.
