Qualitative study explores food perceptions in pregnancy and postpartum for African migrant women, revealing cultural blending.
Participants' perceptions of healthy and unhealthy foods were not influenced by cultural dietary restrictions. Foods traditionally restricted during pregnancy in Africa were described as healthier choices. While women did maintain some cultural practices, they also described blending traditional African and Western foods in their diets.
