Pregnancy weight gain
#obgyn
Optimal weight gain in pregnancy:
• Inadequate maternal weight gain has been associated with growth restriction and prematurity
• Excessive maternal weight gain has been associated with development of GDM and large-for-gestational-age babies
• It is NOT recommended to try to lose weight during pregnancy
• A rough guideline for appropriate weight gain is 1-3.5 kg (2-8 lbs) in the first trimester, then one pound per week to delivery.
• Current recommendations for optimal weight gain depend on maternal prepregnancy body mass index (BMI)
