Prevalence and predictors of food insecurity among pregnant women: A cross sectional study in Qazvin Province, Iran

Unemployed husband and unwanted pregnancy are related to food insecurity among pregnant women. Nevertheless, due to the nature of this study, it was not possible to clearly specify the path of such a relationship. To reduce food insecurity among pregnant women, it is essential to take all the necessary measures for providing financial supports for pregnant women through different ways in order to reduce the stress and worries caused by financial burden of pregnancy, and to improve nutrition quality and eating behaviours among pregnant women.
