Data regarding physical activity and nutrition information during pregnancy were collected using a questionnaire. The scale’s reliability and validity were confirmed by the experts.  Findings Age, height, pre-pregnancy weight, gestational age, the number of previous pregnancies, and pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), were not different in the two groups; however, the groups differed in terms of BMI at the end of pregnancy, rate of changes in BMI, the employment status, sweets consumption before bedtime, taking medicines, the participants’ energy status compared with natural position, and reading nutrition facts label. Conclusion If the observed differences between the two groups are causative, the interventions can reduce the risk of cesarean section, such as preventing excessive weight gain during pregnancy.
