Comparing the two groups the fetal complication were statistically significant higher in the poor diet group, with a p value < 0.004 with OD ratio 95% confidence limit 7.318 (2.128-25.166). The level of hemoglobin were less than 10 mg/dL 0.280 (0.087 - 0.902) P < 0.022. The MBI less than 25 with ODs ratio and 95% cl 0.364 (0.121 - 1.092) and p < 0.54.
