THE PERCENTAGES OF THE MEAN NUTRIENT INTAKE BELOW THE RECOMMENDED DIETARY ALLOWANCES (RDA) FOR PREGNANT WOMEN WERE AS THE FOLLOWS: 51.8%, 93.9%, 82.5% and 98.2% for energy, vitamin B1, calcium and iron, respectively. Moreover, 13.2% of the women experienced some form of pica. Using height and mid-arm circumferences, about 2.8% and 4.4% were seen to be undernourished respectively.
