Abstract

A mother’s health and nutrition status both before and during pregnancy have an important and significant effect on its baby`s physical as well as mental health. Mothers health and dietary intake completely effects a baby`s birth weight, rate of postnatal growth and chances of survival.

This paper describes a woman with proper dietary intake, good nutritious status, and proper life style will have a healthy pregnancy which automatically increases the chances of having healthy delivery of baby, with very low complications. The baby has a better chance of having healthy life ahead.
