Background : Infant mortality occurs in perinatal insanction (0 - 6 days), followed by death in neonatal indancy (7 – 28 days) and infant time (>28 days-<1year). The cause of death of perinatal babies in Lampung Province in 2013 was caused by asphyxia by 37.14% and the largest neonatal death was caused by BBLR by 28.18%.Purpose : Known correlation of weight gain of mothers while pregnant with the results of baby birth weight in Ambon Market Bandar Lampung Year 2019Methods: Quantitative research type, analytical survey research design with cross sectional approach. The population of 108 pregnant women based on the slovin formula was obtained by a sample of 85 respondents, sampling techniques using simple random sampling.Analyze univariate data and bivariate statistical tests using chi squaretest.Result : From 85 respondents obtained 51 respondents (60.0%) experienced normal weight gain, 34 respondents (40.0%) abnormal weight gain, 58 respondents (68.2%) with normal infant birth weight category, 27 respondents (31.8%) with the weight category of babies born abnormally. Conclusion : Statistical test results using chi square test are obtained p-value = 0.001 (< 0.05) which means there is a correlation of increase in maternal weight while pregnant with the results of baby birth weight in Ambon Market Bandar Lampung City Year 2019. Suggestion Pregnant women can maintain nutritional status from the beginning of the trimester to the end of the trimester through regular consumption of nutrients and energy according to the needs of the condition of the pregnant woman. Keywords : BB Enhancement, Pregnant Women, Baby Birth Weight ABSTRAK Pendahuluan: Kematian bayi terjadi pada masa bayi perinatal (0 - 6 hari), diikuti kematian pada masa bayi neonatal (7 – 28 hari) dan masa bayi (>28 hari-<1tahun).

Abstract   Background: Maternal weight gain during pregnancy indicates maternal adaptation fetal growth. The lack of weight gain during pregnancy is strongly correlated with decrease in birth weight. Nutritional status measured by weight gain during pregnancy found that the baby birth weight has positive correlation with the weight gain of pregnant women. Objective: To know the analysis relationship between weight gain of pregnant women and infant birth weight. Method: This research is quantitative study with observational analytic design and cross sectional approach. This research was conducted in one the Palangka Raya with sample of 72 respondents selected using consecutive sampling. The population in this study were mothers who had given birth at one Palangka Raya for the January-December 2017. The secondary data was recorded for the last education, parity, maternal weight at the beginning of the first trimester (≤12 weeks),pregnant woman weight before delivery and the baby birth weight, the data were analyzed by using the chi-square test. Results: The results of statistical tests obtained p-value= 0,000 and OR= 268,750). The more the weight gain of pregnant women, the more the baby's birth weight will increase. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between weight gain of pregnant women and infant birth weight. Keywords: Pregnancy, maternal weight gain, baby's birth weight.     Abstrak   Latar Belakang:Kenaikan berat badan ibu selama hamil menandakan adanya adaptasi ibu terhadap pertumbuhan janin. Kurangnya pertambahan berat badan selama kehamilan berkorelasi kuat dengan penurunan berat lahir. Status gizi yang diukur berdasarkan kenaikan berat badan selama hamil didapatkan bahwa berat lahir bayi mempunyai korelasi positif dengan kenaikan berat badan ibu hamil. Tujuan:Diketahuinya analisis hubungan antara  kenaikan berat badan ibu hamil dengan berat lahir bayi. Metode:Penelitian ini bersifat kuantitatif dengan desain analitik observasional dan pendekatan menggunakan cross sectional. Penelitian ini dilakukan di salah satu PMB Kota Palangka Raya dengan sampel berjumlah 72 responden yang dipilih menggunakan consecutive sampling. Populasi pada penelitian ini yaitu ibu yang telah bersalin di salah satu PMB Kota Palangka Raya periode Januari-Desember 2017. Dilakukan pencatatan data sekunder terhadap pendidikan terakhir,paritas,berat badan ibu pada awal kehamilan trimester I (≤12 minggu), berat badan ibu hamil menjelang persalinan dan berat lahir bayi, kemudian data tersebut dianalisis hubungannya dengan menggunakan uji chi-square. Hasil:Hasil uji statistik diperoleh nilai p-value=0,000 dan nilai OR=268,750). Jadi, semakin bertambah kenaikan berat badan ibu hamil,maka semakin bertambah pula berat lahir bayi. Kesimpulan:Ada hubungan yang signifikan antara kenaikan berat badan ibu hamil dengan berat lahir bayi. Kata Kunci: Kehamilan, kenaikan berat badan ibu hamil, berat lahir bayi.

Despite the advancement of the healthcare system, low birth weight (LBW) remains as one of the leading causes of under-five mortality. This cross-sectional study aimed to determine the prevalence of LBW and its associated factors among 483 third trimester pregnant women recruited from six selected public health clinics in the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur and the state of Selangor, Malaysia. Pregnant women were interviewed for information on socio-demographic characteristics, smoking behaviour, and second-hand smoke (SHS) exposure at home and in the workplace. Information on the obstetrical history and prenatal care visits history were retrieved from the maternal medical records, while infant’s birth outcomes were retrieved from infant medical records. The prevalence of LBW (<2.5 kg) in infants was 10.4%, with a mean birth weight of 3.0 [standard deviation (SD) 0.4] kg. Results from the multivariable logistic regression model showed that inadequate weight gained during pregnancy [odds ratio (OR) = 2.41, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.18–4.90] and exposure to SHS at home (OR = 1.92, 95% CI = 1.03–3.55) were significantly associated with LBW. In conclusion, pregnant women should monitor their rate of weight gain throughout pregnancy and avoid SHS exposure at home to reduce the risk of delivering LBW infants.

The present study was conducted to determine some environmental factors affecting birth weight, weaning weight and daily live weight gain of Holstein calves of a livestock facility in Izmir, Turkey. The data on 2091 calves born between the years 2005-2010 were used to assess the relevant parameters. Effects of calving year, calving month, calf gender and the interaction between calving year and calving month on calves’ birth weights were highly significant. The overall mean of birth weights was 39.6±0.15 kg. In addition, effects of calving year, calving month, gender, birth weight, weaning age, calving year x calving month, calving year x gender and calving year x calving month x gender interactions on weaning weight (WW) and daily live weight gain (DLWG) were highly significant. The overall means of WW and DLWG were respectively found to be 79.7±0.20 kg and 525±2.5 g. A one kilogram increase in birth weight resulted in an increase of 0.89 kg in weaning weight and a decrease of 1.26 g in daily live weight gain. Prenatal temperature-humidity index (THI) affected birth weight of calves (R2=0.67). Increasing THI from 50 to 80 resulted in 3.8 kg decrease in birth weight.

Abstract Background The results of some studies have indicated the association between food insecurity and certain adverse pregnancy outcomes. The present study aimed to investigate the prevalence of food insecurity in pregnant women and its association with pregnancy outcomes and complications. Methods The present cross-sectional study was conducted on 772 mothers who visited comprehensive health service centers during the first 10 days after delivery in 2018. The tools included the demographic and midwifery information questionnaire and an 18-item questionnaire devised by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The significance level was considered to be 0.05. Results 67.5% of pregnant women had food insecurity. The multivariate analysis showed that birth weight decreased with the increase in the severity of food insecurity, but the reduction was not statistically significant. Based on the results, food insecurity had no statistically significant impact on the mothers’ weight gain pattern (p = 0.13). The risk of hypertension/preeclampsia and anemia was not related to food insecurity. Compared with the food-secure group, the probability of gestational diabetes was 56% lower in the food-insecure group without hunger and 61% lower in the food-insecure group with moderate hunger; however, in the food-insecure group with severe hunger, this probability was 1.5 times more than the food-secure group, which is not statistically significant. Conclusions The prevalence of food insecurity was high in pregnant women. Maternal weight gains during pregnancy and birth weight (despite being statistically insignificant) were affected by this condition; therefore, it is necessary to identify women with food insecurity on their first pregnancy visit; it is also crucial to take steps towards improving their health through allocating a family food basket and nutritional support for these women at least during pregnancy. Due to the limited sample size and inability to control the potential confounders, the association between food insecurity during pregnancy and the incidence of pregnancy complications could not be reached, hence the need for more studies.

Abstract Objective The aim of this study is to describe the impact of maternal weight gain on infant birth weight among women with Class III obesity. Study Design Retrospective cohort of women with body mass index (BMI) ≥40 kg/m2 at initial prenatal visit, delivered from July 2013 to December 2017. Women presenting 14/0 weeks of gestational age (GA), delivering preterm, or had multiples or major fetal anomalies excluded. Maternal demographics and complications, intrapartum events, and neonatal outcomes abstracted. Primary outcomes were delivery of large for gestational age or small for gestational age (SGA) infant. Bivariate statistics used to compare women gaining less than Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommendations (LTR) and women gaining within recommendations (11–20 pounds/5–9.1 kg) (at recommended [AR]). Regression models used to estimate odds of primary outcomes. Results Of included women (n = 230), 129 (56%) gained LTR and 101 (44%) gained AR. In sum, 71 (31%) infants were LGA and 2 (0.8%) were SGA. Women gaining LTR had higher median entry BMI (46 vs. 43, p < 0.01); other demographics did not differ. LTR women were equally likely to deliver an LGA infant (29 vs. 34%, p = 0.5) but not more likely to deliver an SGA infant (0.8 vs. 1%, p > 0.99). After controlling for confounders, the AOR of an LGA baby for LTR women was 0.79 (95% CI: 0.4–1.4). Conclusion In this cohort of morbidly obese women, gaining less than IOM recommendations did not impact risk of having an LGA infant, without increasing risk of an SGA infant.
