Abstract	Pregnancy is a critical period for both maternal and foetal health. During this period, gastrointestinal issues, such as constipation, heartburn, and nausea, are commonly experienced, leading to discomfort and potential adverse effects on both maternal health and the developing foetus. Functional foods, enriched with bioactive compounds that provide health benefits beyond basic nutrition, have gained attention as a viable option for managing these conditions. This systematic review aims to explore the evidence surrounding the role of functional foods in alleviating gastrointestinal symptoms in pregnant women, considering various dietary interventions and their efficacy. This review seeks to contribute to a deeper understanding of how targeted nutritional strategies can enhance the well-being of pregnant individuals and improve their overall quality of life during this transformative stage.
