ResumeThe objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of diet on the evolution of pregnancy in pregnant women seen in antenatal consultations in a health facility in southern Benin. This is a descriptive and analytical study by means of a questionnaire which focused on pregnant women aged 15 to 43, received in prenatal consultation, at the Godomey health center in the period from July 1 to October 15, 2020 In total, 164 pregnant women were the subject of three series of visits. At the end of the visits, respectively, 77.4%, 61% and 26.8% of the women had inadequate weight gain. The factors implicated are the BMI before gestation, age, pregnancy-related complications, and high blood pressure. In short, prenatal visits revealed insufficient weight gain in the majority of pregnant women. The factors implicated are BMI before gestation, age, pregnancy-related complications, and high blood pressure. And, the frequency of prenatal consultations allows adequate weight gain, resulting from nutritional advice and monitoring of pregnant women during their visit. Thus, adequate weight gain during pregnancy is a condition for the delivery of a healthy baby and the future well-being of both child and mother. Therefore, adequate nutritional monitoring is necessary for a normal evolution of pregnancy.
