The health of women from the time of conception through pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum phase is referred to as maternal health. Pregnant women must have access to enough high-quality, nutrient-dense food to meet their increased energy and nutritional needs during pregnancy, particularly in the second and third trimesters. Pregnant women's health is therefore significantly influenced by their dietary state. Better perinatal outcomes and improved mother and fetal health are linked to a healthy nutritional status throughout pregnancy. In this context, eating a nutritious, well-balanced diet is often advised. Pregnancy is a crucial time for the metabolic development of the unborn child. The health of the mother and the unborn child is affected by dietary habits before and throughout pregnancy. Environmental factors, placenta structure, maternal diets, and nutritional status during pregnancy have all been shown in the last ten years to have the potential to directly or indirectly affect the fetus's birth outcomes in addition to genetic potential. Enough nutrition must be given throughout pregnancy in order to support healthy fetal development.
