Nutrition is very crucial to well being of pregnant women and the baby. Inadequate nutrition, on the other hand, may lead to many problems during their pregnancy as such anemia, lack of oxygen during delivering baby, low birth weight of baby and baby die inside the mother (Pattani Public Health Center, 2010). Thus, the aim of this study is to employ Health Belief Model (HBM) to explain and predict nutrition intake of pregnant women in Pattani, Thailand. The implication of this study will provide the recommendation for hospital in Pattani in order to influence pregnant women to be aware of their nutrition and help to change pregnant women’ behavior e.g. eating behavior.
