Abstract
No research has explored the experiences of Indian women who become pregnant after they migrate to Australia, and how their existing traditions mix with their new environment and subsequently impact eating patterns. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eleven women of Indian heritage who were living in Australia, and data were thematically analyzed. The researchers identified two main themes were identified (a) foods to eat and which to avoid, and (b) support networks and sources of health information during pregnancy. Women get advice and information from a range of sources and have diverse attitudes and beliefs about cultural food practices. that are both rigid and flexible, as well as traditional and contemporary.
