“…It should begin before conception and last at least for the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. The research by Tlałka et al has shown that 8.5% of respondents had never heard the term 'folic acid', and it most often concerned women of lower financial status and education [18]. What has been observed in the present study is the correlation between the levels of education and income of the respondents and the frequency of folic acid intake.…”

“…Badania Tlałka i wsp. wykazały, że 8,5% badanych kobiet w ogóle nie zetknęło się z pojęciem ,,kwas foliowy", dotyczyło to najczęściej kobiet o niższym statusie materialnym i poziomie wykształcenia [18]. W badaniu własnym również obserwujemy korelację pomiędzy wzrostem poziomu wykształcenia i dochodu badanych kobiet a częstością stosowania kwasu foliowego.…”

AB ST R ACT I N T R O D U C T I O N :The state of the health and diet of the pregnant woman directly affect the development and growth of the fetus and newborn child. Pregnancy increases the demand for nutrients and minerals, and their primary source for the future mother should be a balanced diet. Supplementation is recommended only in the case of a deficiency of vitamins and minerals. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of socioeconomic factors (income, education, employment status, place of residence) on supplementation of the diet of pregnant women. M A T E R I A L A N D M E T H O D S :The research material consisted of information obtained by means of an anonymous questionnaire survey among 1842 women in the first days after birth, hospitalized in the Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics of the Medical University of Silesia in Ruda Slaska. The of research period was 15.04.2013--30.09.2014. R E S U L T S : 92.3% of respondents with higher education supplemented their diet with folic acid, and only 65.1% of women with primary education. In the case of multivitamins it was respectively 79.2% and 51.6%, while in relation to omega-3 -44.1% and 14.3%. Folic acid was taken by 94.1% of women in the highest range of net income per family member and 75% in the lowest range. In the case of multivitamins it was respectively 74.3% and 59.3%, while omega-3 -46.1% and 23.6%. C O N C L U S I O N S : Women with higher education, living in big cities or villages, professionally active and with a higher net income per family member more often take supplements during pregnancy. Marital status does not affect the decision to take dietary supplements by a pregnant woman. K E Y W O R D Spregnancy, diet, socioeconomic factors, supplements

“…More than one third of child deaths are thought to be attributable to maternal and child under nutrition. Deficiencies in micronutrients such as folate, iron and zinc and vitamins A, B6, B12, C, E and riboflavin are highly prevalent and may occur concurrently among pregnant women 83 . One retrospective study carried out in the department of Gynecology and Obstetrics (Unit-I) of Liaquat University of Medical & Health Sciences Sindh-Pakistan from May 2011 to May 2012 showed that among (n=1225) pregnant women, 688 were anemic (Hb < 11g/dl) prevalence of anemia was 56.1%.…”

Anemia is a major global health problem, especially in developing countries and is a common and serious problem in pregnancy. It has serious short-and long-term consequences during pregnancy and beyond. This fundamental health issue has not still been solved but continues to exist affecting the health, quality of life and working capacity in billions of people all over the world. The anemic condition is often worsened by the presence of other chronic diseases such as malaria, tuberculosis, HIV, and diabetes. Untreated anemia also leads to increased morbidity and mortality from these chronic conditions as well. Current knowledge indicates that iron deficiency anemia in pregnancy is a risk factor for preterm delivery and subsequent low birth weight, and possibly for inferior neonatal health. Even for women who enter pregnancy with reasonable iron stores, iron supplements improve iron status during pregnancy and for a considerable length of time postpartum, thus providing some protection against iron deficiency in the subsequent pregnancy. This literature review focuses on the prevalence and major causes of anemia seen on a global & Ethiopian scale. Most cases of anemia are due to iron deficiency, which often work in combination with folate deficiency and/or vitamin B12 deficiency as well as with infections. More efforts should be dedicated to tackle this massive problem-we have the tools and we know the ways. Iron fortification of appropriate food items combined with iron supplements in specific population groups has proved to be efficient. Initially, the efforts should be centered on the specific risk groups for iron deficiency anemia, i.e. pregnant women.

“…In our study 25.7% of pregnant women their hemoglobin were less than 9 /dL. According to the WHO'S, iron and folic acid are recommended to reduce the risk of iron deficiency anemia, which is prevalent among pregnant ladies [17]. Fetal birth weight is directly proportional to maternal health and nutritional status.…”

Which include eight questions. Results; The total number questionnaires (187) were ready for analysis the positive response rate was only (89.1%). The mean ± stander deviation of age (28.79 ± 5.418), Gravidity (2.98 ± 2.180), Gestational Age (29.42 ± 7.920). The mean of hemoglobin (9.79 ± 1.49), and BMI range from 14 -45 with a mean of (27.33 ± 6.59). When analyzing the questionnaires pregnant women divided into two group. Group 1 (171) those women who consumes healthy diet (eight questions answered yes) and Group 2 only 16 pregnant women out 187 (8.56%) consumes a poor diet. (25.7%) had hemoglobin was less than 9mg/dL. The group the poor diet had more small baby which was statistically significant with P < 0.026. Comparing the two groups the fetal complication were statistically significant higher in the poor diet group, with a p value < 0.004 with OD ratio 95% confidence limit 7. 318 (2.128-25.166). The level of hemoglobin were less than 10 mg/dL 0.280 (0.087 -0.902) P < 0.022. The MBI less than 25 with ODs ratio and 95% cl 0.364 (0.121 -1.092) and p < 0.54. In conclusion, our sample of Saudi pregnant women only 8.56%, and 25.7% their hemoglobin were less than 9gm/dL and their BMI were 27. 33. Poor diet affect only the level of hemoglobin and fetal weight at delivery.
