1. Dietary records were obtained twice in pregnancy and once post-partum from 265 women from all social classes in London and Edinburgh.

2. The London women always had higher mean energy, protein, fat and fibre intakes. Significant between-region differences emerged.

3. Some between-social classes differences occurred, but were not consistently significant.

4. All mean energy and fibre intakes were lower, and protein and fat intakes were higher, than current recommendations.

5. Of lactating women 15% claimed to be dieting.

6. The percentage dietary energy derived from fat varied from 36 (in a dieting group) to 42.
