Pregnancy is a state of physiological stress, metabolic and hormonal changes in the life of a woman. During this period, a foetus develops in the uterus of the mother resulting extensive changes in maternal body composition. The development of the foetus is completely dependent on the health and well being of the mother, consequently there is a significant increase in nutritional requirements with the advancement of pregnancy and if the mother does not have enough food, the baby may be small and weak (Singh et al., 2012).
