<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 Maternal malnutrition and poor gestational weight gain are the most important causes of low birthweight and infant mortality in Bangladesh. Objective To assess the effect of short-term nutrition education on weight gain in the third trimester of pregnancy, birth outcomes, and breastfeeding. Methods Three hundred pregnant women participated in this randomized, controlled trial during a 3-month intervention period. The study was conducted in two antenatal clinics in urban Dhaka. One group of women was given monthly education sessions during the third trimester of pregnancy to promote consumption of khichuri, while the control group received only routine services from the health facilities. Birthweight was recorded within 24 hours after delivery. Breastfeeding practices were observed for 1 month after delivery. Results In the intervention group, maternal weight gain in the third trimester was 60% higher (8.60 vs. 5.38 kg, p = .011), mean birthweight was 20% higher (2.98 vs. 2.49 kg, p < .001), the rate of low birth-weight was 94% lower (2.7% vs. 44.7%, p < .001), and the rate of initiation of breastfeeding within 1 hour after birth was 52% higher (86.0% vs. 56.7%, p < .001), in comparison with the control group. Birthweight was associated with frequency of intake of khichuri ( p < 0.001). Conclusions Nutrition education with a focus on promoting consumption of khichuri during the third trimester of pregnancy significantly reduced the rate of low birthweight and increased maternal weight gain.

During pregnancy, mothers are prone to experiencing nutritional problems. This problem can be fatal and exceptionally perilous for both the fetus and the mother. Malnutrition in pregnant women encompasses a huge enough affect on the growth process of the fetus and the child to be born, one of which is stunting. Toddlers' stunting in NTT is ranked 34th in Indonesia with a short presentation of 22.30% and very short 18.00%, while the incidence of stunting in TTS district reaches 57.3%. The point of the study was to analyze the relationship between maternal weight gain and newborn weight with the frequency of stunting. This type of research used case control with retrospective approach. The population of all children under five with incidence of stunting and non-stunting, the subjects of the study were 200 samples in 8 Public Helath Center in TTS district. Data collection using a questionnaire and with univariate and bivariate analysis and tested using the Chi-square test. The results showed that maternal weight gain during pregnancy in stunting infants had a weight gain that was not according to the recommendation, which was 55%, experiencing weight gain as recommended during pregnancy was 45%, while the weight of newborns who were stunted had an abnormal weight gain 60 % and the normal weight gain is 40%. After doing the Chi-Square test, the Asymp was obtained. Sig. is 0.000 <α (0.05). Therefore, it can be concluded that there’s a critical relationship between maternal weight gain during pregnancy and birth weight on the incidence of stunting.

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
