Background: Nutrition during pregnancy is a fundamental key to the health of both mother and child in the short, medium and long term. During this period, the interaction of numerous biological and psychosocial factors may determine dietary changes, an aspect that is little studied in our country Objective: To analyse dietary changes between pre-pregnancy and pregnancy intakes as well as perceptions that pregnant women have of dietary effects on their own health in Córdoba, Argentina (2021-2022). Materials and Methods: Observational and longitudinal study (n=145). Socio-demographic and health data, pre-gestational and gestational food group intakes were collected. Consumption was compared using the Wilcoxon test. Perceptions of the effect of food groups on pregnancy health were assessed using a Likert scale (0=disagree to 10=agree). Spearman’s test was used to correlate dietary intake with Likert scale scores. Results: The amounts of legumes and whole grains, refined cereals, cheeses, chicken, pork, fish, eggs, oils, nuts and seeds, sugary drinks, fatty foods, herbal teas and alcoholic beverages (p<0.05) decreased during gestation; whole milks and yoghurts increased (p<0.05). Scores assigned to food groups were negatively correlated with sugary drinks and positively correlated with milks, yoghurts and cheeses (p<0.05). Conclusions: Changes in gestational diet were observed.
Consumption of sugary drinks, milks, yoghurts and cheeses was correlated with perceptions of dietary effect on gestational health.
