Hi Nusrat
if you do a search at Pubmed susing the 2 terms "pregnant" and "nutritional", you get 4288 answers. Some of these should answer your question:

good luck for your studies
SIbylle
By adding ("pregnancy"[TITLE] OR "pregnant women"[TITLE]) to the search which Sibylle recommended you can break down the results from over 4288 to 1482. Additionally adding (review OR guideline) you will receive 243 results. Good luck.

Chrocrane database Syst Rev 2011:CD 003094
The guidelines will be country specific. For Indians, you can try Dieatray guidelines for Indians, published by National Institute of Nutrition. The download is free
