Correct These conditions are associated with electrolyte imbalance, low birth weight,
and small for gestational age infants. All women should be asked about eating
disorders and nurses should watch for behaviors that may indicate disordered
eating. Some women eat normally during pregnancy for the sake of the fetus, but
others continue their previous dysfunctional eating patterns during pregnancy or
in the early postpartum period.
Incorrect Food cravings and aversions are normal for most women during pregnancy.
Women may have a strong preference or strong dislike for certain foods. They're
generally not harmful, and some, like aversion to alcohol, may be beneficial.
