The Relationship

Objective: To investigate the adaptation of pregnant women to the recommended weight gain range according to body mass index (BMI) and to determine the factors affecting them. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed in a university hospital’s obstetrics and gynecology unit (tertiary center) in Turkey. This study was conducted between March 2018 and August 2018 (6 months) in pregnant women. Pregnant women with chronic disease and receiving treatment during antenatal follow-up, with twin pregnancy, with a fetus with a congenital abnormality, and nutritional disturbance were excluded from the study. Eight hundred twelve pregnant women with normal antenatal follow-up and who volunteered to participate were included in the study. Results: The mean age of the participants was 27.66±5.05 years. The mean weight and BMI before pregnancy were near standard in all participants. The group with the highest rate of recommended weight gain according to BMI before pregnancy was the group with low weight pregnant women. The ideal weight gain rate in all groups was 32%. Conclusions: The groups with overweight and obese pregnant women according to BMI before pregnancy had the highest rates of weight gain, above the recommended limits. BMI before pregnancy directly affects weight gain during pregnancy and the importance of pre-pregnancy counseling and weight loss is emphasized once again. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.35.5.133 How to cite this:Ozdilek R, Aba YA, Aksoy SD, Sik BA, Akpak YK.

Weight Gain During Pregnancy

Objective of the study: to determine the relationship between the total weight gain during pregnancy and the development of rhinitis during pregnancy. The study involved 49 pregnant women with symptoms of rhinitis during pregnancy, aged 24 to 41 years (30,4 ± 0,6 years), and 33 pregnant women without symptoms of rhinitis aged 20 to 38 years (mean age 29,7 ± 0,7 years). The study included the assessment of complaints, history taking, otorhinolaryngological examination, calculation of body mass index before pregnancy and by the time of delivery and estimation of total body weight gain during pregnancy, and follow-up study. Based on the study, statistically significant differences between body mass indexes by the time of delivery in study group and in healthy pregnant group were not revealed. However, in the group of women with pregnant rhinitis, the dynamics of body mass index (total weight gain) significantly exceeded this indicator in the control group (13,3 ± 0,9 kg and 10,5 ± 1,3 kg, respectively). Pathological weight gain during pregnancy was observed more often in women with pregnancy rhinitis who were overweight before pregnancy.

The Impact

Background: Overweight, obesity, and morbid obesity in the mother are associated with adverse obstetrics well as neonatal outcome. Aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of overweight and obesity, and the impact of body mass index (BMI) on maternal and neonatal outcome.Methods: This is a retrospective study from January 2018 to September 2018 on 180 women with singleton term pregnancies. Maternal and neonatal outcomes at delivery were noted.Results: In present study, 3 (1.66%) pregnant women were underweight, 57 (31.66%) pregnant women had normal BMI, 71 (39.44%) pregnant women were overweight while 49 (27.22%) pregnant women were obese. Gestational weight gain was less than 8 kgs in 40 (22.22%) pregnant women, weight gain was 8-15.9 kgs in 132 (73.33%) pregnant women while weight gain was more than 16 kgs in 8 (4.44%) pregnant women. Out of 3 underweight women, 1 delivered by cesarean section and 2 had normal delivery, out of 57 women with normal BMI, 21 delivered by cesarean section and 36 had normal delivery, out of 71 overweight women, 47 delivered by cesarean section and 34 had normal delivery while out of 49 obese women, 38 delivered by cesarean section and 11 had normal delivery. PET and GDM was seen in 9 (7.5%) women each while macrosomia were seen in 5 (4.16%) women.Conclusions: Increased association was seen with maternal obesity and adverse outcome of pregnancy like PIH, GDM, cesarean section.

Normotensive Pregnancy

Associations between prepregnancy body mass index, gestational weight gain, maternal age, and basal sympathetic nervous system activity (SNA) in normotensive pregnant women have not been explored. Retrospective analysis of microneurography records from 74 normotensive pregnant women during their third trimester indicated that although pregnancy is associated with rapid weight gain, this does not influence SNA. There were also no associations between maternal age and SNA, but more studies are needed to confirm this interpretation. Novelty Neither age nor excessive weight gain appears to influence sympathetic activity during normotensive pregnancy.
