Abstrakt: The relation between diet in pregnancy and maternal and fetal complications and mortality has been discussed. The data so far reported in the literature indicate the value of a proper diet. The results, if true, are of the greatest importance, but the number of cases in each series is small. Furthermore, some of the conclusions are at variance with clinical obstetrics. The cost of supervising pregnant patients as well as supplying diet deficiencies would be increased but would be justified if the reports are confirmed. Therefore, we believe that research projects in maternal nutrition should be started in various clinics throughout the country so that in a short period of time sufficient material will be available.
