Abstract	There is increasing awareness in the use of dietary carbohydrates since they promote better health and reduce the risk of various diseases. In this context, the prebiotic non-digestible oligosaccharides (NDOs) have been used as dietary strategies and the majority of research have so far focused on inulin, fructooligosaccharides, xylo-oligosaccharides and galacto-oligosaccharides owing to their safety and efficacy. NDOs are food components that confer various health benefits on the host associated with the modulation of the microbiota. NDOs target the indigenous beneficial bacterial community already established in the gut, increasing their proportion to confer positive effects on the gut and other organs through various mechanisms. Moreover, these compounds may prevent pathogen adhesion, enhance barrier function, decrease fecal transit, improve glycemic response and facilitate mineral absorption. Specifically, during pregnancy, NDOs supplementation has beneficial effects on and host metabolism, and may be used to abrogate various pregnancy-related metabolic disturbances.
