- Abstract
Pregnancy is a cycle of life which in many communities is considered as a special condition. Therefore, pregnancy is usually prepared and maintained carefully, from the behavior of pregnant women (and some people, including her husband's behavior) to food intake, which aim to keep the mother and the baby healthy until the birth process later. Related to the food intake, the diet of pregnant women are concerned, particularly about food that may or may not be consumed by pregnant women. Pregnant women's diet are not only very closely related to their knowledge of healthy food but also concerned with the availability of healthy food sources. Various knowledge sources about healthy food (from parents, health workers, friends, internet, etc.) are often conflicting one another. This condition makes the pregnant women confused to choose which source to follow. Meanwhile, the availability of food resources is not only associated with food supply, but also related to the access to healthy food. This article aims to explain pregnant women's various sources of knowledge about healthy food for their pregnancy and their decision-making in selecting the healthy foods, associated with the resources and the availability of healthy foods in Pucakwangi sub district, in Pati regency. Descriptive qualitative method is used in this study.
