<p>Prepregnancy BMI (Body Mass Index) is used as a guide to the nutritional status of the mother before pregnancy and also determine the optimal weight gain in pregnancy. Meanwhile, weight gain during pregnancy is a decisive indicator of the nutritional status of the mother. This retrospective study design aimed to determine the relationship of pre-pregnant BMI and maternal weight gain during pregnancy with birth weight babies. The sample was 71 mothers with children aged 0-6 months were selected by purposive sampling. The results showed 67.6% most respondents in this study had pre-pregnant BMI normal and 62% of respondents experienced weight gain during pregnancy, according to the recommendations. There is a significant relationship between pre-pregnant BMI birth weight (p=0.006), as well as weight gain during pregnancy had no significant relationship with birth weight, with p=0.024.</p>

AbstrakPertumbuhan janin intrauterin sangat menentukan berat bayi lahir. Banyak faktor yang dapat mempengaruhi berat bayi lahir, salah satunya adalah status gizi janin.Untuk mencapai status gizi yang diharapkan, ibu hamil harus mencapai penambahan berat badan yang ideal. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui hubungan pertambahan berat badan ibu hamil terhadap berat bayi lahir di kota Pariaman. Metode penelitian adalah analitik yang dilakukan di kota Pariaman dengan menggunakan data ibu melahirkan bulan Januari-Juni 2011. Ada 95 sampel yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini, didapatkan jumlah terbanyak pertambahan berat badan ibu pada range < 10 kg, yaitu sebanyak 39 orang dengan rerata 7,46 kg (± 1,274 SD) sedangkan berat badan yang >12,3 kg didapatkan 27 orang dengan rerata 17,39 kg (± 5,792 SD). Secara keseluruhan pertambahan berat badan ibu rerata dalam rentang normal, yaitu 11,29 kg (± 5,194 SD). Bayi dengan berat badan lahir rendah (≤ 2,5 kg) sebanyak 2 bayi (2,1%) dengan berat rerata 2,350 gram (± 0,2121 SD) sedangkan berat badan normal (>2,5 – 4 kg) adalah 92 bayi atau 96,8% dengan berat rerata 3,176 gram (± 0,3339 SD). Secara keseluruhan berat bayi lahir rratae yang didapatkan adalah 3,169 kg (± 0,3661 SD). Berdasarkan hasil uji korelasi, didapatkan r = 0,103 dan p = 0,323 (>0,05). Disimpulkan bahwa tidak ada hubungan signifikan antara pertambahan berat badan ibu hamil terhadap berat bayi lahirdi kota Pariaman.Kata kunci: pertambahan berat badan ibu hamil, berat bayi lahir, pertumbuhan janin intrauterin, status gizi janin AbstractThe intrauterine fetal growth is very affect the birth weight. Many factors that can affect birth weight is one of the nutritional status of the fetus. To achieve the expected nutritional status of pregnant, women have reached the ideal weight gain. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship of maternal weight gain on infant birth weight in Pariaman. The method of this study is analytical in Pariaman. Pregnant women’s data taken from January until June 2011.There were 95 samples used in this study.Obtained the highest number of maternal weight gain, we found that the average of birth weight, range < 10 kg, as many as 39 samples with an average 7.46 kg (± 1.274 SD), whereas sample with a weight gain of more than 12.53 kg as many as 27 samples with an average 17.39 kg (± 5.792 SD). Overall maternal weight gain in the average is normal, the average is 11.29 kg (± 5.194 SD). Obtained birth weight, infant with low birth weight (≤ 2.5 kg) as many as 2 samples (2.1%) with an average 2.350 kg (± 0.2121 SD) whereas sample withnormal birth weight (> 2.5 – 4 kg) as many as 92 samples,(96.8%)with weight in the average is normal, 3.176 gram (± 0.3339 SD). Overall birth weight int the average is normal, the average is 3.169 kg (± 0.3661 SD). Based on the test result showed that the correlation, r = 0.103 and p = 0.323 (> 0.05). It can be concluded that there is no significant relationship between maternal weight gain on infant birth weight in Pariaman.Keywords: maternal weight gain, birth weight, intrauterine fetal growth, nutritional status of the fetus

Background: Delivering a child is a very stressful experience for women. Pregnancy and labor entail complex events that are unique to each individual female. The management of labor pain is often done using analgesics and anesthesia, which have been shown to have some side effects. More comprehensive data are needed to provide clinically significant evidence for clinicians to confidently prescribe exercises to patients. This study was done to evaluate the effect of antenatal exercises, including yoga, on the course of labor, delivery, and pregnancy outcomes. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted among 200 primiparous subjects (aged 20–40). A questionnaire was provided to the subjects to obtain their demographic and obstetrical information 6 weeks after delivery, and their hospital records were also assessed for further details. Based on the nature and details obtained for the antenatal exercises, subjects were divided into two groups: control and exercise. Outcome measures included the need for labor induction, self-perceived pain and perceived exertion during labor, duration and nature of the delivery, newborn infant weight, maternal weight gain, history of back pain, and post-partum recovery. The total maternal weight gain (in kilograms) was calculated from weight at 6 weeks after delivery minus the weight at 12–14 weeks of gestation. Back pain during pregnancy and self-perceived labor pain were measured using a visual analog scale (VAS). The overall perceived exertion during labor was measured using an adapted Borg scale for perceived effort. Results: The subjects who followed regular antenatal exercises, including yoga, had significantly lower rates of cesarean section, lower weight gain, higher newborn infant weight, lower pain and overall discomfort during labor, lower back pain throughout pregnancy, and earlier post-partum recovery compared to those who did no specific exercises or only walked during pregnancy. Conclusions: This retrospective study showed that regular antenatal exercises, including yoga, result in better outcomes related to the course of labor, delivery, and pregnancy. These results notably indicated that pregnant women should be active throughout pregnancy and follow a supervised exercise program that includes yoga unless contraindicated. We require further large-scale prospective studies and quasi-experimental trials to confirm the observed findings.
