Introduction: It is commonly known that healthy attitudes of pregnant women condition normal pregnancy and health of a newborn. The most important factor influencing the well-being of a pregnant woman and her child is the right nutrition. Convinced that she is making every effort to ensure that the baby in her womb develops normally, the expectant mother is at the same time satisfying the need for her own safety and the safety of her growing family. From a population perspective a full-term and properly nourished neonate, subjected to the right upbringing, guarantees the development and survival of the society the member of which it becomes. Aim: This paper attempts to present functional dietary recommendations for pregnant women, based on national and international recommendations with respect to social and personal safety of pregnant women. The right nutrition in the course of pregnancy is a multidimensional issue. From one hand this refers to satisfying our energy requirement, which changes at different trimesters of pregnancy, on the other hand, it also linked to the structure of consumed products, namely the right amount and proportion of nutrients. It also included modification of wrong dietary habits (Godala M. et al., 2012). There is no single opinion on the possibility of consuming some food pregnancy while being pregnant. Attention needs to be paid to such dubious products as blue cheese, sushi, surimi, soft-boiled eggs or some kinds of fish. It is of high importance that a pregnant woman’s diet is supplied with floate, iodine, iron, zinc and calcium, which to a large extent condition normal development of many systems in an unborn child’s organism. Conclusion: Malnutrition or an unbalanced diet of a pregnant woman is the cause of numerous complications, the effects of which are visible even in her child’s maturity. Such complications affect humans’ fundamental need which is the need for safety of own health and life. The right understanding of the multifaceted role of nutrition during pregnancy and its effect on gene expression by pregnant women and medical personnel is an unquestionably important argument used in the fight against chronic diseases of our time.
