چکیده
1. In the Background of the study in the Abstract, what the authors presented is rather the Aim of the study and not the Background. It is therefore suggested that they change that as the Aim of the study, and if needed they could also present the Background of the study before the Aim. Amended according to suggestion. 2. In the Methods of the Abstract, BAI and EPDS should first be defined in parenthesis after Beck Anxiety Inventory and Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, respectively, before the subsequent use of those abbreviations. Done. Materials and methods Subjects 1. Is the period “November 2003 and December 2005” the time when the study was carried out or when the participants were recruited? If not the time when the intervention was carried, the authors should provide that information. All participants were recruited and the study was carried out during the same time. 2. Before the description of the subjects, there could be 1 or 2 sentences to briefly highlight the purpose of the study. This could aid the understanding of the reader in what the women were recruited into. The aim of the study is already mentioned in the end of the Background section. The third paragraph of the section describing subject recruitment starting with “There were no differences ...” should be moved to the Results section of the paper as the information provided in that section are results. We cannot insert this result in the ‘Results section’ as this finding is reported in an earlier study see Claesson IM, Sydsjo G, Brynhildsen J, Cedergren M, Jeppsson A, Nystrom F, Sydsjo A, Josefsson A: Weight gain restriction for obese pregnant women: a case-control intervention study. BJOG 2008, 115(1):44-50.].
