Introduction: This study aims to describe the lifestyle practices of pregnant women in Mosul, Iraq, and to identify potential barriers to healthy behaviors in this population. Methods: The study is a cross-sectional study that aims to examine the lifestyle practices of pregnant women in the city of Mosul, Iraq. A sample of 300 pregnant women was included in the study. The Maternal Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile (MHPLP), which is based on the Health Promotion Model, was modified and used to measure maternal practices. Data was collected through face-to-face interviews with the participants using the modified MHPLP questionnaire. The collected data was analyzed using statistical methods such as descriptive statistics and chi-squared test. Results: The study examined the demographic and social characteristics of participants, revealing a mean age of 29.4 years and an average family size of 5 members. Participants showed a mean gestational weight gain of 5.7 kg, with educational levels split between 55% high and 45% low. The majority belonged to nuclear families (72.2%), and the primary support system was the husband (77.8%). Analysis of Maternal Health Promotion Lifestyle Profile (MHPLP) subscales (Table 3) indicated moderate scores overall, with “Health responsibility” scoring highest (3.22) and “Interpersonal support” scoring lowest (2.16). Furthermore, Table 4 highlighted a significant difference (p < 0.007) in self-actualization scores between primiparous and multiparous women, with primiparous women scoring higher (mean = 3.24) compared to multiparous women (mean = 3.05). These findings provide comprehensive insights into the participants’ characteristics and underscore variations in self-actualization based on parity. Conclusion: The research has implications for the quality of maternal and child health services. Health promotion and healthy lifestyle should be integrated into services provided to pregnant women. Further research is needed to develop an instrument to understand pregnant women’s cultural beliefs regarding lifestyle practices such as physical activities and stress management. Policy implications are also discussed.
