    Objective: Pregnancy is a special period of increased nutritional needs during which conscious nutritional support is required. Insufficient and imbalancednutrition in this period of life causes serious conditions that affect both child and mother. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between pregnancyand nutrition/nutritional habits during pregnancy.Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study, a questionnaire was conducted on a voluntary basis to pregnant women who were admitted to thePregnancy Outpatient Clinic of Obstetrics and Gynecology Department at Ankara Numune Training and Research Hospital. Questions about generalinformation, pregnancy-related information, thoughts and knowledge about breastfeeding, nutritional habits, and meal frequency were asked to pregnantwomen. Three hundred fourteen questionnaires were assessed in the study. SPSS for Windows Version 16.0 and MS-Excel 2007 were used for statisticalevaluations. P<0.05 was accepted as statistical significance.Results: There was a statistically significant relationship between pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and number of pregnancies; level of educationand income levels; number of children and history of caesarian section as an additional problem within previous pregnancies. The change of nutritionalhabits during pregnancy was examined; we found that consumption of fruits (51%) and vegetables (40.8%) increased the most, while intake of tea (26.1%)and redmeat (21%) mainly decreased during pregnancy. It was found that during pregnancy 20.4% of pregnant women had never consumed fish, 13.1%abstained from red meat, and 12.4% excluded white meat from their diet.Conclusions: We believe that this study will help to raise awareness about adequate and balanced nutrition during pregnancy and to define specialnutritional recommendations. © 2015, Turkish Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
