About

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a difference exists in the gut, oral, vaginal and human milk microbiome of under-nourished pregnant women as compared to healthy and obese pregnant women. In addition, the investigators are setting out to determine if a micronutrient enriched probiotic yogurt can improve the microbiome and pregnancy outcomes of under-nourished pregnant women.
