Summary

The aim of this pilot study is to investigate dietary choices and composition during pregnancy and fluctuating sex hormones during the natural menstrual cycle in women. In particular, the investigators are interested in the relationship between diet choice, cognitive performance and diversity of the gut microbiome.

The study will be conducted in a longitudinal/cross-sectional design. Primiparous pregnant women will be investigated during four different time periods (during the 1st-3rd trimester and during the postpartum period). Women with a natural regular menstrual cycle will be assessed during two different hormonal phases of the cycle (early follicular, luteal) and undergo the same study design as pregnant women. Participants will conduct online tasks related to cognitive performance, food approach/avoidance behavior and risk assessment, fill out online questionnaires related to diet, mood, sleep and mental-wellbeing. In addition, participants will log their daily food intake for three days in a food diary and send in a stool sample in order to analyse gut microbiome composition.
