AbstractDietary fiber is an important component of a healthy diet, and adequate intake during pregnancy provides a variety of benefits to both mothers and their developing babies. This review examines recent research on the positive effects of consuming a fiber-rich
diet during pregnancy. The current study shows how increased fiber intake can improve gastrointestinal function, promote regularity and reduce constipation, a common complaint of pregnancy. Additionally, the current study discusses the potential role of
fiber in regulating blood sugar levels and aiding weight management, both of which are important for maternal health. Finally, the review examines the study and the possible relationship between increased fiber consumption and improved pregnancy outcomes,
including reduced risk of gestational diabetes and premature birth. The current study also touches on the potential impact of maternal fiber intake on the developing gut microbiome of the newborn and its impact on long-term health.
