Pregnancy is often considered a \u2018teachable moment\u2019 when mothers may be motivated to adopt positive behavioural changes, including improving their nutrition habits. Pregnancy nutrition education is the provision of information and guidance on optimal nutritional practices that aim to support a healthy pregnancy. This scoping review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Eight electronic databases were searched (Medline, Embase, CINAHL, Global Health, Scopus, PsycARTICLES, SocINDEX, Academic Search Complete) for studies reporting on nutrition education programmes and interventions with pregnant women. Studies were included based on PICOS criteria, with no limitations on time and study design. Data were extracted and thematically analysed to identify the scope of diet, nutrition knowledge, and maternal outcomes included. This review includes 169 studies, which included various maternal outcomes (gestational weight gain, gestational diabetes mellitus, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, and anaemia); dietary outcomes; nutritional status; and nutritional knowledge, attitudes, and\/or behaviours. Significant positive results were observed for many health and dietary outcomes, with the exception of prevention of gestational diabetes and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. A range of strategies has been used to deliver nutrition education. This inconsistency makes it challenging to summarise the key components of effective nutrition education and highlights the need for targeted approaches tailored to specific maternal outcomes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0954422426100444","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,18]],"date-time":"2026-05-18T09:49:53Z","timestamp":1779097793000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Nutrition education and common maternal health and dietary outcomes during pregnancy: a scoping review"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"39","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0498-3572","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fiona Helen","family":"McKay","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/02czsnj07","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Deakin University Faculty of Health"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1923-9455","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Seyedeh Samira","family":"Mokhlesi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Deakin University"},{"name":"Deakin University Faculty of Health"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Julia","family":"Zinga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/02czsnj07","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Deakin University Faculty of Health"},{"name":"The Royal Women\u2019s Hospital"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jane","family":"Willcox","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Charles Darwin University"},{"name":"Royal Women\u2019s Hospital"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paige","family":"van der Plight","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Swinburn University"},{"name":"Western Health"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vidanka","family":"Vasilevski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Deakin University"},{"name":"Deakin University Faculty of Health"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,18]]},"container-title":["Nutrition Research Reviews"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/services\/aop-cambridge-core\/content\/view\/S0954422426100444","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,18]],"date-time":"2026-06-18T06:58:25Z","timestamp":1781765905000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/product\/identifier\/S0954422426100444\/type\/journal_article"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"references-count":0,"alternative-id":["S0954422426100444"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/s0954422426100444","relation":{},"ISSN":["0954-4224","1475-2700"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0954-4224","type":"print"},{"value":"1475-2700","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"assertion":[{"value":"\u00a9 The Author(s), 2026.
