Abstract

Nutrition during pregnancy is controversial, often ignored by obstetricians or wrongly addressed. This may be caused by one party to insufficient knowledge of the subject and on the other, that the concepts are under review and not properly tested. This task has been undertaken by midwives and nutritionists which has also made it easier for institutions to ignore him obstetricians. It's no wonder that a pillar of pregnancy control has been relegated in obstetric practice to secondary sites. Nutritional advice for pregnant women have changed over time. Previously, women were encouraged to have modest increases in weight during pregnancy and consume diets. At other times, they were encouraged to "eat for two", which contributed to excessive weight gain, with higher maternal and fetal pathology. Today we understand better the nutritional needs during pregnancy and the role of different specific nutrients at this stage of life. Women have specific nutritional needs associated initially at gender and related to specific situations such as preconception, pregnancy, lactation, menopause or old age. In carrying out the following research methods were used needed to raise awareness of the benefits available to a good nutritional therapy for women aged 14 to 30 years of Subcentro preconception and pregnant "San Cristobal" Portoviejo. Were developed and implemented methods of research and market surveys, for which proposed the development of a design model diet that will help achieve the objective.
