Annotation. During pregnancy the body's needs for macro and micronutrients increases 2-3-fold. The woman's diet has great importance for the normal development of the fetus and the course of pregnancy. A balanced amount of protein, fat, carbohydrates and fiber prevents a lot of complications. However, research in recent years has found that a balanced diet is not enough for a pregnant woman. Micronutrients have the main role in the prevention of congenital malformations and complications of pregnancy, the need for which increases not only during pregnancy but also during lactation. Optimal levels of folic acid, iodine, vitamin D3, calcium and iron mainly ensure the normal course of pregnancy and fetal development. In this article the effect of each micronutrient on the body of a pregnant woman was considered.
