Nutrition during pregnancy in the Eritrean context

DOI: 10.55920/IJCIMR.2022.03.001117 Received: October 15, 2022 Published: October 31, 2022 Introduction A woman’s nutritional status prior to and during pregnancy influences the baby’s and her own health. A woman's nutritional status should be assessed preconceptionally with the goal of optimizing maternal, fetal, and infant health. Pregnancy-related dietary changes should begin prior to conception, with appropriate modifications across pregnancy and during lactation. During pregnancy, women should eat an extra meal per day (in their second and third trimester, no extra needed in the first one) as well as reduce physical workload during the final months of pregnancy in order to gain enough weight. The recommended intake is adding 0, 340, and 452 kcal/day to the estimated nonpregnant energy requirements in the first, second, and third trimesters, respectively.
