Fat is critical for this; therefore inadequate intake during pregnancy may impair fetal brain development.

Brain growth

Inadequate intake of vitamin C during pregnancy will adversely affect this and may result in preterm birth.

Collagen synthesis

Inadequate intake of zinc during pregnancy will adversely affect this and may lead to fetal malformations.

DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis

This may occur in the uterus due to malnutrition during pregnancy.

Decreased vasculature

The uterus, which carries this, may experience decreased vasculature if malnutrition occurs during pregnancy.

Developing fetus

Critical for brain growth and eye development, inadequate intake during pregnancy may impair fetal brain development.

Fat

Inadequate intake of fat during pregnancy may impair this.

Fetal brain development

Jana is a 24-year-old woman who recently got married. She and her husband would like to start a family within the first year of their marriage.

Iron absoroption can be enhanced by eating iron-rich foods together with _______.

Oranges

The source of all nutrition for a developing fetus, malnourishment in a pregnant woman may actually lead to its increased size at the expense of increased fetal size.

Placenta

Necessary for collagen synthesis, vitamin C inadequacy intake during pregnancy may result in this.

Preterm birth

Lori is a vegan who believes she gets all the nutrients she needs from her diet. She has never taken supplements, even when she was pregnant. Her baby, Mason, was born full-term, but with a small portion of his spinal cord protruding through his vertebrae, resulting in partial paralysis of his legs. This neural tube defect, called _______ , may have been caused by Lori's insufficient intake of ________ during pregnancy. This micronutrient is necessary for regenerating the active form of _______ .

Spina bifida, vitamin B12, folate

Malnutrition during pregnancy may result in decreased vasculature of this organ that holds the developing fetus.

Uterus

Necessary for collagen synthesis, inadequate intake during pregnancy may result in preterm birth.

Vitamin C

Critical in DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis, zinc inadequacy during pregnancy may lead to this.
