There are four research goals. To learn about awareness of healthy lifestyle in pregnancy among pregnant women, to find out sources of information on healthy lifestyle in pregnancy, to learn about adherence on healthy lifestyle principles among pregnant women and to learn about physical activities of pregnant women. Four hypotheses were set to reach these goals, upon which an anonymous questionnaire aimed at finding out the theoretical knowledge of healthy lifestyle in pregnancy was prepared. The questionnaire contained 36 questions. The target group consisted of pregnant women in various gravidity stages. 150 questionnaires were handed out, of which 64 per cent returned. The result interpretation is based on 96 respondents. The research itself was held in 2 hospitals and 3 outpatient facilities.

More than 80 per cent of respondents answered correctly to nearly all the questions related to the healthy lifestyle in pregnancy. The average of correct answers is 88 per cent. The second hypothesis assumed that pregnant women obtain most information about healthy lifestyle from the internet. This hypothesis was refuted. 42 per cent of the respondents gain information about healthy lifestyle from the internet.
