Healthy nutrition during pregnancy should ensure proper growth and development of the fetus, maintain (and improve) the health of the mother and promote lactation. Consulting and nutrition activities should be an integral part of prenatal care and should be performed during pregnancy to reduce the risk of complications for the mother, fetus and newborn, and the risks of short- and long-term adverse outcomes. Increased nutritional and energy requirements during pregnancy are met through numerous metabolic adaptations; pregnancy successfully develops in a wide range of changes in energy supply and weight gain. However, the data suggest that if nutrient restriction exceeds the limits of adaptive reactions, fetal metabolism will develop by an alternative way, which can lead to diseases (type 2 diabetes, hypertension, coronary heart disease and acute cerebrovascular disease) in the adult age. When choosing a vitamin and mineral complexes, one should take into account the rationality of the composition, the correspondence of the components of the complex to the recommended daily dose for pregnant women and safety.

Key words: micro-nutrients, pregnancy, polyunsaturated fatty acids, fetal growth, vitamin and mineral complex.
