Maternal health and nutrition during pregnancy are critical determinants of fetal growth and long term child development. This review explores the complex relationship between maternal diet, mental well being, and fetal outcomes, addressing the interconnected impacts on physical, cognitive, emotional, and social domains of child growth. A nutrient rich diet with an emphasis on essential macronutrients and micronutrients, including iron, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, is associated with healthy organ development, cognitive function, and a robust immune system in the fetus. Conversely, maternal malnutrition whether due to under nutrition or excessive weight gain can lead to adverse outcomes such as low birth weight, neurodevelopment deficits, and a heightened risks of chronic diseases later in life. The mothers maternal health is also is also a crucial factor. Conditions like stress, anxiety, and depression during pregnancy can disrupt fetal brain development and are linked to cognitive and behavioural challenges in children. Chronic stress can elevate maternal cortisol levels, impacting fetal brain structure and function. This review also highlights the synergy between maternal cortisol levels, impacting fetal brain structure and function. This review also highlights the synergy between maternal nutrition and mental health; poor dietary habits can exacerbate mental health issues, while psychological distress can lead to irregular eating patterns. Integrative approaches targeting both nutrition and mental health issues, while psychological distress can lead to irregular eating patterns. Integrative approaches targeting both nutrition and mental health are essential to promote optimal outcomes for children.
