Pregnancy is the period in the life of an adult woman, lasting approximately nine months, during which the fetus, i.e., the baby, grows inside her body. Certain physiological changes occur in a woman's body to support the growing fetus. The fetus obtains all the necessary nutrients for its growth from the mother's body through the placenta. Therefore, pregnancy is a period characterized by morphological, anatomical, and physiological changes accompanied by high nutritional requirements. The objective of this study was to identify and analyze health awareness during pregnancy in the Chamarajanagara district. The research methodology employed in this study was purposive, and the researcher has over 10 years of experience in the Department of Social Work at Chamarajanagara University, Suvarnagangotri, Chamarajanagara. The study results indicated that pregnant women provided information on their highest educational qualifications, emphasizing the importance of food for the health of both the pregnant woman and her baby. Consequently, pregnant women consume a significant amount of non-vegetarian food, and it was found that a healthy eating pattern is crucial for facilitating easy childbirth. This research has implications in terms of providing a better understanding of health awareness during pregnancy, formulating public policies, and establishing a foundation for the development of educational programs and health promotion initiatives aimed at enhancing health awareness during pregnancy.
