Association Between Gestational Weight Gain and Maternal and Neonatal Outcomes

The Association Between Pre-Pregnancy Body Mass Index and Gestational Weight Gain on Pregnancy Outcomes: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Gestational weight gain and maternal and neonatal outcomes in term twin pregnancies in obese women.

Limited data is available that estimates the effect of gestational weight gain on maternal and neonatal outcomes in term twin pregnancies in obese women. A historical cohort study of 831 obese (BMI ≥30.0 kg/m2) women in Missouri delivering 1,662 liveborn, term (≥37 weeks gestation) twin infants in 1998-2005 was conducted. Three gestational weight gain categories were examined: <25 pounds, 25-42...

Maternal Gestational and Postdelivery Weight Gain and Child Weight.

BACKGROUND Maternal gestational weight gain (GWG) is a risk factor for the development of overweight in her child. It is unknown whether GWG programs the child's health or whether GWG indicates a shared familial lifestyle during childhood. To disentangle these influences, we studied the association of GWG and postdelivery maternal weight change simultaneously with child's weight development. ...

Association Between Maternal Nutritional Status of Pre Pregnancy, Gestational Weight Gain and Preterm Birth

INTRODUCTION Maternal nutritional status of pre pregnancy and gestational weight gain affects the preterm birth. The association between maternal nutritional status of pre pregnancy and preterm birth appears to be complex and varied by studies from different countries, thus this association between the gestational weight gain and preterm birth is more consolidated. OBJECTIVE The study aims to...

Association between Maternal Fish Consumption and Gestational Weight Gain: Influence of Molecular Genetic Predisposition to Obesity

BACKGROUND Studies suggest that fish consumption can restrict weight gain. However, little is known about how fish consumption affects gestational weight gain (GWG), and whether this relationship depends on genetic makeup. OBJECTIVE To examine the association between fish consumption and GWG, and whether this relationship is dependent on molecular genetic predisposition to obesity. DESIGN A...
