Maternal diet has been found to affect pregnancy outcome. Research has shown that nutritional deficiencies during pregnancy might be associated with adverse outcomes before and after birth. For example, low calcium intake during pregnancy has been related to the development of preeclampsia. Preeclampsia is a medical condition that can develop during pregnancy and is characterised by the development of high blood pressure and the presence of protein in the urine. It can have serious consequences for both mother and baby. Low calcium intake has also been linked to other pregnancy complications such as the delivery of small for gestational age babies.
The purpose of this study is to examine the dietary profile of our pregnant population at 35-36 weeks in relation to complications such as preeclampsia. The study will focus on calcium intake and the incidence of preeclampsia, but will also investigate the relationship between other dietary factors and adverse pregnancy outcomes.
Maternal dietary status will be assessed using an online questionnaire called Intake24, which require a dietary recall over a 24-hour period. The questionnaire should take no more than 15 minutes to complete and women will be asked to complete the questionnaire three times following your routine scan at 35-37 weeks.
