CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Excessive gestational weight gain is related to many complications (both maternal and fetal), such as macrosomia. The most common complications in macrosomic fetuses include: increased risk of intrauterine death, need for intensive care, fractures, neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, paralysis of the brachial plexus and obesity in childhood and adulthood. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between gestational and fetal weight gain and the incidence of macrosomia in two maternity hospitals. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cohort study in two public maternity hospitals in Goiânia, Brazil. METHODS: This was a cohort study on 200 healthy pregnant women with normal body mass index, divided into two groups: one with normal weight gain and the other with excessive weight gain during pregnancy. RESULTS: The cohorts were similar regarding maternal age, per capita income, schooling level and reproductive behavior. The fetal weight was greater in the cohort with excessive maternal weight gain (3,388.83 g ± 514.44 g) than in the cohort with normal weight (3,175.86 g ± 413.70 g) (P < 0.01). The general incidence of macrosomia was 6.5%: 13.0% (13 cases) in the cohort with excessive maternal weight gain and 0.0% (0 cases) in the cohort with adequate weight gain. CONCLUSION: Excessive maternal weight gain was associated with increased fetal birth weight and incidence of macrosomia.

Abstract Background Although the rate of maternal mortality has declined over the past few decades, pulmonary embolus (PE) remains an important cause of maternal deaths. Little is known about the associations of specific periods of gestational weight gain with detailed PE and deep venous thrombosis (DVT). We explored the incidence of pregnancy-related venous thromboembolism (VTE) in China and assessed the associations of maternal weight gain in different periods of pregnancy with VTE.Methods In a retrospective case-control study conducted in in Shanghai First Maternity and Infant Hospital from January 1st, 2017 to July 31th, 2021, 151 cases (11.7 per 10000) of venous thromboembolism (VTE) within pregnancy or the first 6 postnatal weeks were identified. 302 controls without VTE who gave birth at the same time as the cases were selected. Maternal pre-pregnancy weight, weight in early, mid and late pregnancy and other maternal pregnancy and newborn characteristics were obtained. GWG was standardized into gestational age-specific z-scores stratified by body mass index (BMI) and categorized as low (z score <-1), normal (-1 to 1), and high (>1). The adjusted odds ratios (aORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated through log-binomial regression models. Interaction effects between gestational weight gain (GWG) and some other adjustment factors were tested, further stratified analyses were performed separately where interaction terms were significant. Results There were 65.6% (99 of 151) of pulmonary embolus (PE) alone and 34.4% (52 of 151) of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) alone or combined with PE. For all pre-pregnancy BMI categories (underweight, normal weight, overweight and obese), there was no statistical association between maternal weight gain of all gestational intervals and DVT or all VTE in this study. However, for PE, there was observed protective effects of low weight gain (aOR 0.79; 95% CI 0.37–1.68) and significantly increased risks of high weight gain (aOR=1.47; 95% CI: 1.03-2.09) among normal-weight women in early pregnancy. Similarly, a tendency towards decreased risk at lower weight gain throughout pregnancy (aOR 0.79; 95% CI 0.37–1.68) and significantly increased risk at higher values (aOR=1.52; 95% CI: 1.01-2.31) for PE was observed in normal-weight women. As for underweight and overweight women, results from the categorical model for early, late or total pregnancy weight gain indicated an increased risk in PE at both low and high weight gain, but confidence intervals were wide.Conclusion Chinese women have a higher risk of PE than the foreigner counterparts. Maternal weight gain in total or early pregnancy is an important risk factor for PE. In order to effectively improve maternal and child outcomes, intensive weight management that continues through pregnancy may be indispensable.

AbstractAbnormal maternal gestational weight gain (GWG) increases the risk of obstetric-related complications. This investigation examined the impact of GWG on infant neurodevelopmental abnormalities at 12 months of age using the data of a nationwide Japanese cohort study. Questionnaire data were obtained from the ongoing Japan Environment and Children’s Study cohort study. Maternal GWG was subdivided as below, within, or above the reference values of the Institution of Medicine pregnancy weight guidelines. The Ages and Stages Questionnaire, third edition (ASQ-3) is a parent-reported developmental screening instrument for children across five domains: communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem-solving, and personal–social. Multiple logistic regression analysis was employed to identify correlations between GWG and developmental delay defined as ASQ-3 scores of less than two standard deviations below the mean. A total of 30,694 mothers with singleton live births and partners who completed the questionnaire were analyzed. The prevalence of mothers below, within, and above the GWG guidelines was 60.4% (18,527), 32.1% (9850), and 7.5% (2317), respectively. We recorded 10,943 infants (35.7%) who were outliers in at least one ASQ-3 domain. After controlling for covariates, GWG below established guidelines was associated with a significantly higher risk of developmental delay for the communication (odds ratio [OR] 1.21, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.09–1.34), gross motor (OR 1.14, 95% CI 1.05–1.24), fine motor (OR 1.13, 95% CI 1.04–1.24), problem-solving (OR 1.09, 95% CI 1.01–1.18), and personal–social (OR 1.15, 95% CI 1.07–1.24) domains.Conclusion: This large survey revealed a possible deleterious effect of insufficient maternal GWG on infant neurodevelopment.Trial registration: The Japan Environment and Children’s Study (JECS) was registered in the UMIN Clinical Trials Registry on January 15, 2018 (number UMIN000030786). What is Known:• Inappropriate maternal gestational weight gain may cause obstetric complications and adverse birth outcomes.• Excess maternal weight gain may result in gestational diabetes, hypertension, eclampsia, caesarean delivery, and macrosomia, while insufficient maternal weight gain has been associated with pre-term birth and small for gestational age. What is New:• This study provides important information on a possible adverse effect of insufficient maternal gestational weight gain on offspring neurodevelopment at 12 months of age.• Our findings indicate a need to reconsider the optimal body mass index and gestational weight gain for women desiring pregnancy.

Background. Maternal weight during pregnancy may affect both, the course of pregnancy and the anthropometric parameters of the newborn. The steadily growing problem of excessive weight in reproductive-age women is associated with the risk for gestational obesity and its negative consequences for the infant. Objectives. The aims of the study were to analyze the following: (i) maternal weight gain as compared to the pre-pregnancy BMI, and (ii) the link between maternal weight and other environmental factors versus neonatal size. Material and methods. The study was conducted among 94 women in singleton term pregnancy, who delivered at the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Oncology, Medical University of Warsaw. The American Institute of Medicine criteria for the recommended weight gain were followed. Multivariate logistic regression model and multiple regression analysis were used for statistical analysis. Results. Normal weight gain was observed in only one-third of the subjects, while excess weight gain was detected in as many as 42.5% of the women. Active smokers were at a 4-fold higher risk for excess weight gain as compared to nonsmokers (OR 4.13, 95% CI 1.19 - 14.34, p = 0.026). Infants born to mothers with insufficient weight gain (24.5% of the mothers) were lighter by 302 g (p=0.0405) and shorter by 2.4 cm (p=0.0025) as compared to those born to mothers with normal weight gain. Conclusions. Maternal weight gain in most of our subjects was not compliant with the current recommendations, regardless of the pre-pregnancy BMI. Inadequate pregnancy weight gain negatively affects the anthropometric parameters of the newborn.

Abstract Background Preterm birth (PTB) is the leading cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity worldwide. Methods This cohort study was designed to investigate the associations between pre-pregnancy BMI, total gestational weight gain (GWG), and GWG during early pregnancy with PTB utilizing data of 83,096 Chinese women from the Maternal and Children Healthcare Information Tracking System of Wuhan, China. Results Women who were underweight, overweight or obese prior to pregnancy had an overall elevated risk of PTB, compared to their normal weight counterparts. Women with total GWG below the IOM recommendation had an increased risk of PTB compared to women who had GWG within the recommendation, whereas an increasing risk of PTB was observed asweekly early pregnancy GWGincreased. When stratified by subtypes of PTB, pre-pregnancy underweight was associated with higher risk of spontaneous PTB, and pre-pregnancy overweight /obese increased the risk of both spontaneous PTB and medically indicated PTB. Women with total GWG below the IOM recommendation had elevated risk for spontaneous PTB and PROM, and women with GWG above the recommendation had decreased risk for all three subtypes of PTB, whereas risk for the three subtypes of PTB increased along with increasing weekly GWG of early pregnancy. Conclusions Maternal underweight, overweight/obesity, total GWG, and GWG during early pregnancy should be considered in combination to reduce the risk of PTB, women should modify their weight gains during pregnancy according to the results.
