Influence of nutritional guidance during pregnancy on nutritional status and pregnancy outcome of pregnant women

This study was an original article, mainly aimed to explore the influence of nutritional guidance during pregnancy on nutritional status and pregnancy outcome of pregnant women. Two hundred (200) pregnant women were admitted to the Nanjing General Hospital of Nanjing Military Command from May 2021 to May 2023. They were randomly sub-divided into a control group and an intervention group. Each group had 100 cases. The control group received routine guidance, while the intervention group received personalized nutrition guidance based on standards from the routine guidance protocol. The results showed that in comparison with the control group, the intervention group presented higher calcium, protein, folate, sodium, iron, vitamin and zinc levels, lower fat levels, lower incidence of adverse birth outcomes, lower incidence of adverse neonatal status, higher fetal body weight and Apgar score higher satisfaction rate, and lower incidence of complications during pregnancy. We conclude that reasonable intake of nutrition during pregnancy can meet the nutritional needs of pregnant women and fetuses, improve pregnancy safety, improve delivery and newborn conditions, reduce the occurrence of pregnancy complications, and improve the satisfaction of pregnant women.
