Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This observational study will investigate the dietary intake, nutrition beliefs and attitudes of women in the second trimester of pregnancy attending a inflammatory bowel disease pregnancy clinic at a tertiary hospital. Participants will complete one 3-day electronic prospective food record (2 week days and 1 weekend day) and one electronic survey. Participants may be recruited in the first or second trimester, therefore timing of food record and survey completion relative to enrolment will vary. Participants recruited in the first trimester will be asked to complete the study requirements from 13 weeks gestation. Participants recruited in the second trimester are asked to complete the study requirements as soon as possible after enrolment, with the latest time to complete at 27 weeks gestation. The survey is estimated to take 10-12 minutes to complete. The food record is estimated to take 10 minutes per day to complete.

Summary
Brief summary
This study aims to assess the dietary intake of pregnant women with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), investigate the impact of IBD on dietary intake, and explore beliefs and attitudes towards nutrition during pregnancy. It is hypothesised that pregnant women with IBD, especially those with active IBD, are more likely to have dietary intakes that fall below the national dietary guideline targets compared to healthy pregnant cohorts. The findings could guide educational initiatives and interventions focused on improving the nutritional adequacy of dietary intakes and support provided to women with IBD during pregnancy. Enhancing maternal nutrition through tailored interventions could improve the health and well-being of both the mother and foetus, leading to better pregnancy outcomes.
