Pregnancy and post-partum are critical periods in which nutritional intake is essential to maternal and child health. Our aim was to describe dietary intake during pregnancy and post-partum and assess its adequacy. A longitudinal study was conducted on 793 pregnant women. Data about maternal characteristics, health, diet and lifestyle were assessed. Energy and nutritional intake were compared to the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA). The results showed that the intake of energy (82.6%), protein (80.6%) and carbohydrate (99.5%) was adequate (above 80% of RDA) during pregnancy, as were vitamins C, B2 and B12; but vitamin D, iron and folate intake were a long way from RDA (below 35%). Similar results were observed for the post-partum period although fiber, and vitamins E and C decreased compared to intake during pregnancy. In conclusion, although nutritional requirements increase during gestation, pregnant women did not increase their energy and nutritional intake during pregnancy and postpartum and they had a high risk of deficient intake of vitamin D, iron and folates during pregnancy, and therefore, of developing an unfavorable nutritional status, contrary to health recommendations. These findings underscore the necessity of intensive nutrition programs during and after pregnancy.
