 I. Background of the Study
A healthy birth weight and good brain development are connected to eating a balanced diet

throughout pregnancy, which also lowers the risk of numerous birth abnormalities. Additionally, a balanced

diet will lower the risk of having anemia and other unpleasant pregnancy side effects including exhaustion

and morning sickness. (Sampson, 2020).

According to UC Davis Medical Center (2013), the calorie requirements remain the same during

the first trimester specifically weeks 1 to 12. Choose a variety of foods, such as fruits, vegetables, low-fat

dairy, whole grains, and lean proteins, for a healthy diet. Pregnant women will require an additional 300

calories per day for the developing baby during second and third trimesters which around weeks 13 to 40.

If a pregnant woman is expecting for more than one baby, she has to go to her dietician to get enough

nutrients throughout pregnancy. Consume a balanced diet made up of a range of foods since numerous

essential vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients found in each food group support the growth and

development of the baby. Reduce the amount of simple carbs such as soda, syrup, sugar, fruit juice,

sweets and high-fat foods will also help to prevent weight gain.

Based on American Pregnancy (2019), the recommended range for daily calories is 2,200–2,500.

These extra calories must originate from wholesome source of foods like whole grains, fruits, veggies, low-

fat dairy products, and lean meats. Gaining weight during pregnancy is essential for the growth and

development of your child, amniotic fluid, uterus, breasts, blood, and placenta provision and fat reserves.

In the first trimester, weight increase is usually between 0 and 4 pounds, and in the second and third

trimesters, is 1 pound each week. Remember that dieting or trying to reduce weight during pregnancy is

not advised since it could hinder your unborn child from receiving vital nutrients.

Poor diets low in essential nutrients during pregnancy, such as iodine, iron, folate, calcium, and

zinc, can result in anemia, pre-eclampsia, hemorrhage, and mortality in mothers. They can also result in a

stillbirth, a low birth weight, wasting, and problems in a child’s development. According to UNICEF, more

than 20 million newborns suffer from low birth weight every year. Poor nutrition during breastfeeding

3
makes it harder for moms to meet their increased dietary needs while also replenishing their stockpiles of

nutrients. The accessibility and affordability of food, gender inequality, and societal and cultural norms that

may limit women’s ability to make decisions about their care and nutrition are among the many issues that

affect women’s diets globally. (UNICEF, 2021).

The purpose of this paper is to provide a meal plan idea during pregnancy and to give an idea on

how to prepare a nutritious breakfast, snack, lunch and dinner so that they can get the nutrients that are

essential for the growth and development of the fetus in their womb. In addition, this paper aims to lower

the case of mortality due to pregnancy complications caused by malnutrition and deficiency to folic acid,

calcium, iron, vitamin c, protein, fats, and iodine. In addition, teaching mothers to avoid alcoholic

beverages which may result to placental dysfunction and preterm birth.

Remember, vitamin and mineral supplements cannot replace a healthy diet. It is recommended to

a pregnant woman that taking vitamins and minerals must be partnered with a healthy diet. In addition,

pregnant women and women who may become pregnant should not drink alcohol. Drinks containing

alcohol include beer, wine, liquor, mixed drinks, and malt beverages. Even moderate drinking during

pregnancy can cause behavioral or developmental problems for a baby. Heavy drinking during pregnancy

can result in serious problems for the baby, including malformation and intellectual disability. (ACOG,

2022).

This table below lists all of the nutrients required for the fetus's growth and development. All of the

nutrients listed below are also essential for avoiding certain diseases and deficiencies, which will have a

significant impact on the number of low birth weight babies and maternal death due to malnutrition.

Remember that a balanced diet is connected to good fetal spine and brain development and can help

reduce birth defects. Pregnant women should also know the calorie intake in each stages of pregnancy.

For 1st trimester, the calorie intake is 2000kcal per day, and on 2nd and 3rd trimester, 300-500kcal should

be added to make sure that all the needed nutrients are consumed. Keep in mind that gaining weight

during pregnancy is normal, in first trimester, weight increase is usually between 0 and 4 pounds, and in

the second and third trimesters, is 1 pound each week. Apart from having healthy diet, pregnant mothers

should take vitamin and mineral supplements because it ensures that the mother and baby receive an

adequate amount of key nutrients such as folic acid, iron, and vitamin C.
