In pregnancy, good nutrition is key to ensure incensement maternal health and prevent the risk of birth defects.it also defended fetal growth and development and prevent health problems both mother and child. My study aimed to investigate the food habits of pregnant women following dietary assessment attending in hospitals of Dhaka city, to assess their nutritional status to determine their socio- economic and dietary practice. To assess the food taboos. To capture the health and nutritional situation of Dhaka city women of reproductive age, I collect's data on their dietary habits and measures their height, weight through hospital based descriptive cross-sectional study on December 1 to 15 ,2018 at done Maternal and Child Health Training Institute ,Azimpur. In my data study analysis most of them a big amount of women’s education level 1-5 passed(43.2%), and a little bit are highly (21%)educated. among them 7.4% are under weight,35.8% are normal weight and 43.2 are overweight . Socio-economic condition is of them 13.6% are bad, 25.9% are good and 33.3% are very good. All of them 19.8% women is same night. I also analyses the co-relation the BMI and economic condition, BMI and parameter, BMI and economic, BMI and food (meat group), BMI and food (fish group), BMI and receive of antenatal checkup and all are co-related positively or negatively but not significant.I study two journal according to my topic ,one of them are positively significant another one is co-related positively or negatively but not significant .Because one site and sample are not same and another study site is same as my data. Last of all my analysis I think that all the pregnant women are educated in my data so they have little bit knowledge about diet and the also get information from TV nutritional program.so there I can’t get significant relation on my topic.
