The most important information focal points of PREGNANT WOMEN about nutrition were health care workers (32%) and also radio and television (29.6%). A significant correlation was not found between knowledge level of PREGNANT WOMEN and their mean age (r=0.117). Also a significant relationship was not observed between monthly income, gravidity and familial dimension with their NUTRITIONAL KNOWLEDGE. The relationship between NUTRITIONAL KNOWLEDGE level with educational level of women was significant (p=0.002).CONCLUSION: The results showed that the information level of PREGNANT WOMEN was moderate. So the promotion of NUTRITIONAL KNOWLEDGE of PREGNANT WOMEN by personnel of HEALTH CENTER and the mass media is necessary.
