Abstract

Proper nutrition for pregnant women is essential for both the health of the mother and the developing fetus. A balanced and nutrient-rich diet can support healthy fetal growth and development, prevent complications during pregnancy, and reduce the risk of long-term health problems for both the mother and child. This essay aims to explore the importance of proper nutrition for pregnant women and the fetus, discussing the specific dietary requirements, benefits, potential risks, and recommendations for a healthy pregnancy. Ten reputable sources from journals will be cited to provide evidence-based information and support for the content discussed in this essay.
