To associate the knowledge regarding antenatal diet with the selected demographic variables. Method: A descriptive design was adopted for this study. The Sample size consists of 30 antenatal women attending the antenatal check-up at Primary Health Centre, Pothanur. Non-probability convenience sampling technique was adopted to select the sample. In this study, data were gathered by a structured questionnaire. Results: The level of knowledge score reveals that 33.3% had poor knowledge, 66.7% had average knowledge, and no one had good knowledge regarding antenatal diet. The study findings provide statistical evidence which indicates that antenatal mothers have average knowledge regarding antenatal diet.
