What is this article about?
Pregnancy nutrition is a topic that can easily be overlooked, yet it plays a crucial role in maternal health as well as foetal and infant wellbeing. Midwives are ideally placed to provide education on nutrition during pregnancy, but to date, there is very little published research evaluating midwives’ knowledge, attitudes and confidence on the subject. What little research there is tends to be exploratory and descriptive and suggests that midwives lack basic knowledge of nutritional requirements.
