ABSTRACT

Pregnancy entails specific nutritional needs, yet dietary recommendations are often perceived as overly restrictive. In most cases, a varied and minimally processed diet is sufficient to meet energy, protein, and micronutrient requirements. Targeted supplementation (iron, folic acid, vitamin D, calcium, iodine) is only necessary in certain situations. Particular attention is required for women on specific diets (such as vegan, paleo, or ketogenic), which may necessitate closer monitoring. In Switzerland, the risk of foodborne infections is low and can be effectively managed with basic hygiene and food safety practices. A pragmatic, evidence-based approach helps reassure patients while safeguarding both maternal and fetal health, promoting a more peaceful pregnancy experience.
