“…25,26 In the United States, a study with pregnant women found that married women had more support than those unmarried and that partner support and marital stability are important factors for health and well-being. 33 Partner support is an important protective factor throughout pregnancy and conception and our study corroborates these findings.…”

“…Also, compared with non-partnered women, partnered women generally have numerous psychological and social advantages, though much of this may be limited to individuals living in a satisfactory marital relationship [ 53 ] because pregnant women living in a violent relationship with their partner are more likely to receive less social support [ 54 ]. Our finding is supported by previous studies conducted in US [ 55 ], Sweden [ 51 ] and Portugal [ 52 ]. However, cross-sectional study conducted in Iran (n = 320) [ 56 ] and Southern Brazil (n = 871) [ 31 ] among a sample of pregnant women reported that marital status has no significant association with social support.…”

Background Pregnancy is a time for women in which the need for social support is crucial. Social support reduces stressors and improves the emotional and physical well-being of pregnant women. Women receiving low social support during pregnancy are at risk of substances use, developing mental illness, and adverse birth outcomes. The current study aims to determine the prevalence and determinants of low social support during pregnancy among Australian women. Methods Data were obtained from the 1973–1978 cohort of Australian Longitudinal Study on Women’s Health (ALSWH) and those who report being pregnant (n = 493) were included in the current analyses. Social support was assessed using Medical Outcomes Study Social Support index (MOSS). A logistic regression model was applied to identify determinants of low social support, separately for each MOSS domain. Result The study found that 7.1% (n = 35) of pregnant women reported low social support. Significant determinants of low emotional support were non-partnered (AOR = 4.4, 95% CI: 1.27, 14.99), difficulty managing on available income (AOR = 3.1, 95% CI: 1.18, 8.32), experiencing depressive symptoms (AOR = 8.5, 95% CI: 3.29, 22.27) and anxiety symptoms (AOR = 2.9, 95% CI: 1.26, 7.03). Significant determinants of low affectionate support were suffering from depressive symptoms (AOR = 5.3, 95% CI: 1.59, 17.99), having anxiety symptoms (AOR: 6.9, 95% CI: 2.21, 22.11) and being moderately/very stressed (AOR: 3, 95% CI: 1.17, 7.89). Significant determinants of low tangible support were difficulty managing available income (AOR = 3, 95% CI: 1.29, 6.95), and being depressed (AOR = 2.8, 95% CI: 1.48, 5.34). Conclusion The study revealed that 7.1% of pregnant women reported low social support. Having a mental health problems, being stressed, being from low socio-economic status and being non-partnered were significant determinants of low social support during pregnancy. Maternal health professionals and policymakers can use this information to screen pregnant women at risk of receiving low social support and improve the level of support being provided.

“…The literature demonstrates the relevance of a partner in this important period for a woman. 4,16,26 Sometimes, the baby's father is not necessarily the mother's current partner. A study found that married women had more support than those that were unmarried, and that partner presence and marital stability are important factors for health and well-being.…”

“…A study found that married women had more support than those that were unmarried, and that partner presence and marital stability are important factors for health and well-being. 26 Thus, the presence of a partner, which enables affective exchanges, a feeling of security and belonging by the pregnant woman, may be more related to the maternal ability to bond with her baby.…”

Objectives: to investigate the association between the Índice de Qualidade da Dieta Adaptado para Gestantes (IQDAG) (Quality of Diet Index Adapted for Pregnant Women) with food consumption, lifestyle and health information. Methods: cross-sectional study with 110 pregnant women assisted at a public health service. Sociodemographic, nutritional and health data were collected from medical records. Food consumption was investigated through the usual intake, for a nutritional analysis, DietPro® program version 6.1 was used. Quality ofdiet was assessed using the IQDAG. Multinomial logistic regression was used to investigate an association between food consumption and IQDAG. Results: the average total score of the IQDAG was 61.3 (±26.1), this is the best quality of the diet. After adjusting for age, schooling and physical activity, the highest consumption of vitamin A (OR=1.04; CI95% = 1.02-1.07) and B2 (OR=2.63; CI95% = 1.19-5.70) was associated with a greater chance of having a better quality of diet (3rdtertile of the IQDAG). Conclusions: pregnant women with better quality of diet had higher intakes of vitamins A and B2. However, other population-based studies are suggested to more broadly in verify its association with food consumption and its ability to identify adherence to nutritional recommendations.
