Nutrition in pregnancy and pathogenic diseases.
A woman's nutritional status should be assessed preconception with the goal of optimizing maternal, fetal, and infant health. Pregnancy-related dietary changes should begin prior to conception, with appropriate modifications across pregnancy and during lactation. The Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) are levels of nutrients recommended by an expert IOM panel based on extensive evaluation of available scientific evidence and mathematically adjusted to meet the needs of 97% of the population.
