--- OBJECTIVE: To determinate the level of knowledge about Omega 3 and consumption in pregnant women treated at the Instituto Nacional Materno Perinatal, January-February 2016. METHODOLOGY: Study observational, descriptive design, prospective and crosssectional, which involved 228 pregnant women served by the National Maternal Perinatal Institute during the months of January to February 2016. The information was processed in SPSS v.21. Quantitative variables were estimated using measures of central tendency (mean) and dispersion measures (standard deviation). For qualitative variables, absolute and relative frequencies (%) they were calculated. RESULTS: The level of knowledge pregnant women about the Omega 3 was “High“ (2.2%), “Medium“ (21.5%) and “Low“ (76.3%). 23.7% of pregnant women known foods rich animal origin in Omega 3 such as fish, 2.2% called oil rich in Omega 3 olive oil, 1.3% know nuts rich in Omega 3 as pecans and 2.2 % known as sesame seeds and chia. Regarding benefits, 11.4% knows a profit on the baby as better brain development; however, any pregnant woman knows some benefit in the mother. The source further information about Omega 3 was advertising on television (31.5%), followed by information provided by relatives (27.8%). The desire to receive more information about Omega 3 in pregnant women was 77.6%. As for the frequency of consumption, 96.1%, 83.3% and 82.9% reported never having used sesame seeds, nuts and olive oil respectively. But 36.9% canned fish consumed 1 to week, 33.3% ate fish 2 times a week, 25.4% consumed quinoa 3 times a week. 96.1% of pregnant women have not consumed any supplement Omega 3. The average dietary intake of Omega 3 was 0.79 ± 0.62 g/day. The amount of dietary intake of Omega 3 was “deficient“ in 50% of pregnant women. CONCLUSION: The level of knowledge pregnant women about Omega 3 served by the National Maternal Perinatal Institute is “Low“ (76.3%). The amount of dietary intake of Omega 3 was “deficient“ in 50% of pregnant women. KEYWORDS: pregnant, consumption and knowledge about Omega 3
