Maternal weight gain and pattern of weight gain during pregnancy influence the ultimate outcome of pregnancy. Pregravid body mass index (BMI), maternal dietary intake, maternal height and age all determine the weight gain during pregnancy. The study was taken up with an objective to observe maternal weight gain and its pattern in pregnancy in women from an upper income group and to find out their association with pregnancy outcome. 180 normal primiparous pregnant Indian women (20–35 years) from an upper income group were recruited between the 10th and 14th weeks of pregnancy and were followed up throughout their pregnancy to record total and trimester-wise weight gain. Neonatal birth weights were recorded. The results showed that mothers with high pregravid BMI gained more weight during pregnancy than the recommended weight gain; in addition, weight gain in the first trimester was significantly correlated with birth weight of the neonates (P = 0.019). Significant correlation was found between weight gain in the third trimester and birth weight of the neonate irrespective of maternal BMI. The rate of weight gain was significantly correlated with neonatal birth weights irrespective of maternal pregravid BMI (P = 0.022) and as per its categories (P = 0.027). Thus, overall it can be concluded that adequate maternal nutrition before and during pregnancy is important for adequate weight gain by the mother and can result in better outcome of pregnancy. The rate of weight gain is also an important contributing factor.

<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>

Background: Low Birth Weight (LBW) is a worldwide public health problem, which subsequently may affect the health status of the child. Lao PDR has high incidence of LBW.  Antenatal care (ANC) is provided to improve maternal and child health outcomes. The aim of this study was to identify the effect ANC on LBW prevention in Lao PDR. Methods: This case control study was conducted in tertiary hospitals of Lao PDR. The ratio of case: control was 1:3, of which there were 52 cases and 156 controls that passed the inclusion criteria included in the study. In our analysis information on pregnancy and ANC including height of mother, maternal weight gain during pregnancy, maternal gestational age at delivery, type of delivery, supplementary vitamins, and other covariates including age, marital status, educational attainment, occupation, family income, health insurance, family size and living condition were described and determine their association with LBW using multiple logistic regression analysis. Results: There were only 32.69 % of complete ANC among cases and 57.69% in control.  Incomplete ANC (<4 times) were significant increased the odds of having LBW (adj. OR=2.97; 95%CI: 1.48 to 5.93; p-value =0.002). Other covariates which also influenced LBW were having maternal weight gain during pregnancy less than 10 kg. (adj.OR=2.28; 95%CI: 1.16 to 4.49; p-value = 0.017), maternal gestation age at delivery less than 40 weeks (adj. OR=3.33; 95%CI: 1.52 to 7.32; p-value =0.003).  Conclusion: Complete ANC could help both mother and child in term of weight gain and full term delivery which may effect on LBW reduction.

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.

Background: Maternal weight gain is one of the most important independent predictors of infant birth weight.  It is stated that under nutrition during pregnancy and low birth weight increase the risk for diabetes and cardiovascular disease in adulthood. Normal weight gain of pregnancy 11kg weight gain should be according to pre-pregnancy BMI.  Patients with BMI > 25 should gain weight of 7kg patient with normal BMI should gain 11kg weights.Methods: This is a hospital based prospective study and was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, RNT Medical college Udaipur from November 2018 to March 2019  to find association between maternal weight gain and birth weight. Exclusion criteria included congenital malformations, multiple pregnancy, polyhydraminos, preeclampsia, diabetes, cardiovascular, kidney disease, RH negative pregnancy. Results were calculated by percentage.Results: excessive weight gain during pregnancy increases baby weight. Out of total 100 cases, 88 (88%) cases are Hindus and 12 (12%) cases are Muslims. Out of total 100 cases 72 cases (72%) belong to urban, 28 (28%) belong to Rural area. Out of 100 patients 32 patients gain weight less than 11kg among which 16 newborn have weight less than 2.5kg, 68 patients have weight gain more than 11kg and 67 have baby weight more than 2.5kg.Conclusions: Excessive maternal weight gain during pregnancy increases birth weight. In view of the apparent association between high birth weight and adult adiposity, an advantageous time to initiate obesity prevention efforts may be during pregnancy.
