Abstract

Inadequate diets have adverse effects on maternal, fetal, and, possibly, childhood health. This cross-sectional study aimed to examine daily food group intake of pregnant Jordanian women during the three pregnancy trimesters and to compare these to the recommended servings of the five food groups reported by The United States Department of Agriculture and My Plate Plan. A total of 283 pregnant Jordanian women were recruited during their antenatal visits. Data were obtained by interviewer-administered structured questionnaires. Our results showed that 1.1% of participants consumed the recommended number of servings for all five food groups during pregnancy and 10.2% did not consume the minimum number of servings of the five food groups. Nearly half of the participants in the first trimester met the recommended daily servings for three food groups but only approximately two-third of participants met the minimum recommended daily servings for one or two food groups in the second and third trimesters. Consumption of grains and sweets was significantly higher in the third trimester compared with the first and second trimesters. Overall, the majority of pregnant Jordanian women in this study did not consume the recommended number of servings for all five food groups during pregnancy.

Keywords: adequacy; fats; food groups; pregnancy; sweets.
