Weight Gain During Pregnancy

We examined the effect of maternal weight gain during pregnancy on exercise performance. Ten women performed submaximal cycle (up to 60 W) and treadmill (4 km/h, up to 10% grade) exercise tests at 34 +/- 1.5 (SD) wk gestation and 7.6 +/- 1.7 wk postpartum. Postpartum subjects wearing weighted belts designed to equal their body weight during the antepartum tests performed two additional treadmill tests. Absolute O2 uptake (VO2) at the same work load was higher during pregnancy than postpartum during cycle (1.04 +/- 0.08 vs. 0.95 +/- 0.09 l/min, P = 0.014), treadmill (1.45 +/- 0.19 vs. 1.27 +/- 0.20 l/min, P = 0.0002), and weighted treadmill (1.45 +/ 0.19 vs. 1.36 +/- 0.20 l/min, P = 0.04) exercise. None of these differences remained, however, when VO2 was expressed per kilogram of body weight. Maximal VO2 (VO2max) estimated from the individual heart rate-VO2 curves was the same during and after pregnancy during cycling (1.96 +/- 0.37 to 1.98 +/- 0.39 l/min), whereas estimated VO2max increased postpartum during treadmill (2.04 +/- 0.38 to 2.21 +/- 0.36 l/min, P = 0.03) and weighted treadmill (2.04 +/- 0.38 to 2.19 +/- 0.38 l/min, P = 0.03) exercise. We conclude that increased body weight during pregnancy compared with the postpartum period accounts for 75% of the increased VO2 during submaximal weight-bearing exertion in pregnancy and contributes to reduced exercise capacity. The postpartum increase in estimated VO2max during weight-bearing exercise is the result of consistently higher antepartum heart rates during all submaximal work loads.

Weight Gain During Pregnancy

Abstract Objectives To compare the relationship between maternal weight gain during pregnancy and anthropometric indices of Uruguayan children under 4 years examined by two different criteria for adequate pregnancy weight gain: Atalah et al. (AEA) widely used in Latin America and Institute of Medicine (IOM). Methods Descriptive study of data from the First National Survey of Child Health, Nutrition and Development of Uruguay (ENDIS) of children (n = 1602; age 24.3 ± 10.6 months) recruited in 2013. Weight and height of the children were measured. Child birth weight (BW) and pregnancy weight gain (PregWG) were reported at the interview. PregWG was classified as adequate or excessive according to AEA and IOM criteria. Z scores for weight-for-age (WAZ), height-for-age (HAZ), weight-for-height (WHZ) and body mass index-for-age (BAZ) of the children were obtained from the Growth Patterns of World Health Organization. Results Prevalence of excessive PregWG was higher based on AEA (51.2%) compared to IOM (38.9%) criteria (P < 0.001). Excessive PregWG was associated with higher child BW compared to adequate PregWG using both criteria (AEA: 3361 ± 525 g and 3203–550 g, IOM: 3379 ± 543 g and 3224–534 g, respectively) (P < 0.001). Prevalence of macrosomic BW (>4000 g) with excessive PregWG was similar using AEA (10%) and IOM (12%). WAZ was higher with excessive compared to adequate PregWG using AEA (0.52 ± 1.07 and 0.32 ± 1.66, respectively) (P < 0.005) but not different by using IOM (0.51 ± 1.08 and 0.37 ± 1.55, respectively) (P = 0.057). HAZ was lower with excessive compared to adequate PregWG based on AEA (−0.4 ± 1.12 and −0.23 ± 1.10, respectively) (P = 0.001) but not different based on IOM (−0.7 ± 1.15 and −0.18 ± 1.09, respectively) (P = 0.057). WHZ and BAZ did not differ by PregWG categories using AEA or IOM. Conclusions Prevalence of excessive weight gain during pregnancy was higher using AEA compared to IOM criteria. However, only subtle differences in the associations between adequacy of pregnancy weight gain and child anthropometric indices were observed when using AEA or IOM criteria.

<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>

Weight Gain During Pregnancy

Background: Weight gain in pregnancy remains a matter of great concern for women and health care providers.  Adherence to a balanced diet throughout pregnancy, influences maternal body weight as well as short- and long-term health of mother and child. Objective of this study was to study antenatal maternal and social factors affecting maternal weight gain among Nulliparous women.Methods: study was carried out in antenatal clinics of tertiary care hospital and a suburban health center with sample size 197 and 97 respectively. Maternal weight was measured at the first antenatal clinic visit and at delivery. Statistical analysis was done with SPSS version 20. Statistical tests used were mean, percentages and chi square.Results: The antenatal determinants of maternal weight gain were: being underweight at the booking visit, maternal complications during pregnancy, passive cigarette smoking during third trimester, low educational level and low per capita income, controlling for the effect of gestational age.Conclusions: maternal educational level, per capital income, passive smoking, caloric and protein deficiency, early pregnancy body mass index determines the weight gain during pregnancy.
