Proper weight gain during pregnancy helps ensure the development of the fetus. Standards for weight gain during pregnancy depend on the stage of pregnancy and the mother's pre-pregnancy weight status.

Nutrition during pregnancy has a great influence on the development of the fetus as well as the health of the mother, especially the nutrition in the last 3 months of pregnancy. Because this is the stage when the fetus completes the structures of the body to prepare for birth. Therefore, the nutrition for pregnant women in the last 3 months of pregnancy needs the most attention.
