Abstract :
Maternal nutrition is critical in shaping fetal
development and lifelong health outcomes. Both
overnutrition and undernutrition during pregnancy
significantly influence neonatal health, congenital
anomalies, and long-term risks for metabolic and
neurodevelopmental disorders. Maternal obesity
increases the risks of complications such as congenital
anomalies, macrosomia, and delivery injuries, while
maternal undernutrition leads to intrauterine growth
restriction (IUGR), low birth weight (LBW), and neonatal
morbidity. This article provides evidence-based insights
into the impact of maternal nutrition, reviews global
guidelines, and explores targeted interventions to
optimize maternal and fetal health. Figures and graphical
representations highlight key concepts, making the
discussion comprehensive and engaging.
