These women were from the UK, Australia, Ireland and New Zealand. Women were asked about their diet as well as about their medical history. Certain examinations were also done like blood pressure and details of baby were also taken.
The researchers got to know one thing that diet and lifestyle factors are very important to have normal pregnancy. Dr
