Abstract

Healthy eating is important at all stages of life, especially during pregnancy. A healthy diet before, during and after pregnancy improves maternal health and decreases the risk of pregnancy complications, birth defects and chronic disease in children in later adulthood. The present investigation was conducted to assess the nutritional awareness of the pregnant mothers and develop the self-educational booklet for them. In this research, questionnaire-cum-interview method was adopted for the collection of the data. The pregnant mothers were selected randomly. Most of the pregnant mothers were found unaware about nutrition aspects.
