Background: Maternal weight gain is influenced by several trends in perinatal health that are of greatpublic health concern. Maternal weight gain during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters is an important determinant of fetal growth Objective: To determine the relationship between maternal weight gain and birth weight of baby at term. Methodology : A cross sectional observational study was carried among 50 pregnant women at term wereadmitted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College and Hospital, Bhagalpur, Bihar during the period of January 2020 to July 2020. Data were collected pre-designed data collection sheet. Results: This study found maximum (36%) were age group 21-25 years followed by 28% were≤20 years,24% were 26-30 years, 8% were 31-35 years and only 4% were 36-40 years. The average age was 25 years. Among these 50 pregnant women, 2 cases (4%) had BMI <18.5, 15 cases (30%) had a BMI 18.5-24.9, 19 cases (38%) had a BMI 25-29.9 and 14 cases (28%) had a BMI ≥30. The mean birth weight was 2.77±0.33. kg. Mean weight gain was 10.72±3.72 Kg. Weight increased there was a corresponding increase in the mean birth weight and this relationship was statistically significant (<0.05). Conclusion: This study shows maternal weight gain significantly increased birth weight of the baby atterm. Maternal weight should continue to be given importance in monitoring the health of pregnancies and bioelectrical impedance analysis and arm measurements should be further investigated as another simple way to track appropriate body composition changes across gestation, especially in resource-limited settings. Although challenging, public health efforts should continue working to improve the nutritional status of women of reproductive age before they conceive as an apparent way to improve birth outcomes.

Background: Perinatal health is influenced by maternal weight gain. Increase in obesity in population and excess weight during pregnancy may be different complications including large for gestational age fetus. As a result cesarean delivery has increased in prevalence. Maternal weight gain during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters is an important determinant of fetal growth Objective: To determine the relationship between maternal weight gain and birth weight of baby at term. Methodology : A cross sectional study was carried among 50 pregnant women at term in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College and Hospital and Anwer Khan Modern Medical College Hospital during the period of January 2013 to July 2013. Data were collected in pre-designed data collection sheet. Results: This study found maximum (36%) were age group 21-25 years followed by 28% were ≤20 years, 24% were between 26-30 years, 8% were between 31-35 years and only 4% were of 36-40 years. The average age was 25 years. Among these 50 pregnant women, 2 cases (4%) had BMI < 18.5, 15 cases (30%) had a BMI 18.5-24.9, 19 cases (38%) had a BMI 25-29.9 and 14 cases (28%) had a BMI ≥30. The mean birth weight was 2.77±0.33. kg. Mean weight gain was 10.72±3.72 Kg. Conclusion: This study showed that reasonable maternal weight gain significantly increased birth weight of the baby at term. Bangladesh J Obstet Gynaecol, 2017; Vol. 32(2) : 79-83

Abstract   Background: Maternal weight gain during pregnancy indicates maternal adaptation fetal growth. The lack of weight gain during pregnancy is strongly correlated with decrease in birth weight. Nutritional status measured by weight gain during pregnancy found that the baby birth weight has positive correlation with the weight gain of pregnant women. Objective: To know the analysis relationship between weight gain of pregnant women and infant birth weight. Method: This research is quantitative study with observational analytic design and cross sectional approach. This research was conducted in one the Palangka Raya with sample of 72 respondents selected using consecutive sampling. The population in this study were mothers who had given birth at one Palangka Raya for the January-December 2017. The secondary data was recorded for the last education, parity, maternal weight at the beginning of the first trimester (≤12 weeks),pregnant woman weight before delivery and the baby birth weight, the data were analyzed by using the chi-square test. Results: The results of statistical tests obtained p-value= 0,000 and OR= 268,750). The more the weight gain of pregnant women, the more the baby's birth weight will increase. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between weight gain of pregnant women and infant birth weight. Keywords: Pregnancy, maternal weight gain, baby's birth weight.     Abstrak   Latar Belakang:Kenaikan berat badan ibu selama hamil menandakan adanya adaptasi ibu terhadap pertumbuhan janin. Kurangnya pertambahan berat badan selama kehamilan berkorelasi kuat dengan penurunan berat lahir. Status gizi yang diukur berdasarkan kenaikan berat badan selama hamil didapatkan bahwa berat lahir bayi mempunyai korelasi positif dengan kenaikan berat badan ibu hamil. Tujuan:Diketahuinya analisis hubungan antara  kenaikan berat badan ibu hamil dengan berat lahir bayi. Metode:Penelitian ini bersifat kuantitatif dengan desain analitik observasional dan pendekatan menggunakan cross sectional. Penelitian ini dilakukan di salah satu PMB Kota Palangka Raya dengan sampel berjumlah 72 responden yang dipilih menggunakan consecutive sampling. Populasi pada penelitian ini yaitu ibu yang telah bersalin di salah satu PMB Kota Palangka Raya periode Januari-Desember 2017. Dilakukan pencatatan data sekunder terhadap pendidikan terakhir,paritas,berat badan ibu pada awal kehamilan trimester I (≤12 minggu), berat badan ibu hamil menjelang persalinan dan berat lahir bayi, kemudian data tersebut dianalisis hubungannya dengan menggunakan uji chi-square. Hasil:Hasil uji statistik diperoleh nilai p-value=0,000 dan nilai OR=268,750). Jadi, semakin bertambah kenaikan berat badan ibu hamil,maka semakin bertambah pula berat lahir bayi.

Abstract Background The results of some studies have indicated the association between food insecurity and certain adverse pregnancy outcomes. The present study aimed to investigate the prevalence of food insecurity in pregnant women and its association with pregnancy outcomes and complications. Methods The present cross-sectional study was conducted on 772 mothers who visited comprehensive health service centers during the first 10 days after delivery in 2018. The tools included the demographic and midwifery information questionnaire and an 18-item questionnaire devised by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The significance level was considered to be 0.05. Results 67.5% of pregnant women had food insecurity. The multivariate analysis showed that birth weight decreased with the increase in the severity of food insecurity, but the reduction was not statistically significant. Based on the results, food insecurity had no statistically significant impact on the mothers’ weight gain pattern (p = 0.13). The risk of hypertension/preeclampsia and anemia was not related to food insecurity. Compared with the food-secure group, the probability of gestational diabetes was 56% lower in the food-insecure group without hunger and 61% lower in the food-insecure group with moderate hunger; however, in the food-insecure group with severe hunger, this probability was 1.5 times more than the food-secure group, which is not statistically significant. Conclusions The prevalence of food insecurity was high in pregnant women. Maternal weight gains during pregnancy and birth weight (despite being statistically insignificant) were affected by this condition; therefore, it is necessary to identify women with food insecurity on their first pregnancy visit; it is also crucial to take steps towards improving their health through allocating a family food basket and nutritional support for these women at least during pregnancy. Due to the limited sample size and inability to control the potential confounders, the association between food insecurity during pregnancy and the incidence of pregnancy complications could not be reached, hence the need for more studies.

Women weight before pregnancy and weight gain during pregnancy are the main determinants of the baby's weight at the end. Women with low body weight (for example <55 kg) before pregnancy who achieved a slight increase in body weight (<4500 grams) during pregnancy had a higher incidence of giving birth to babies with low birth weight than mothers with greater weight who reached more a lot of weight gain during pregnancy (Benson, 2009: 135). The purpose of this study was to determine women weight gain during pregnancy with birth weight.This research design uses "Cross Sectional". The independent variable is the weight of pregnant women and the dependent variable is the weight of the newborn. The population in this study were all mothers with babies at birth in UPT Puskesmas Dlanggu, Mojokerto Regency. A sample of 50 respondents was taken using consecutive sampling techniques. Data analysis used fisher exact test with α = 0.05.The results showed that most pregnant women gained weight in the normal category of 36 people (72.0%). The majority of babies born underweight did not experience underweight, namely 42 people (84.0%). Fisher exact test results = 0.004 <0.05 so that H1 is accepted and H0 is rejected, which means there is a relationship between maternal weight gain during pregnancy and the baby's birth weight at UPT Puskesmas Dlanggu, Mojokerto Regency.Women weight / before pregnancy and weight gain of pregnant women need to get attention because there is a clear relationship with the weight and development of the fetus in the uterus. Health workers should always provide education about nutritional needs during pregnancy and also monitor the development of pregnant women and the fetus so that immediate action can be taken if found abnormalities in pregnancy.Keywords: Increase in Maternal Weight During Pregnancy, Baby Birth Weight

Despite the advancement of the healthcare system, low birth weight (LBW) remains as one of the leading causes of under-five mortality. This cross-sectional study aimed to determine the prevalence of LBW and its associated factors among 483 third trimester pregnant women recruited from six selected public health clinics in the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur and the state of Selangor, Malaysia. Pregnant women were interviewed for information on socio-demographic characteristics, smoking behaviour, and second-hand smoke (SHS) exposure at home and in the workplace. Information on the obstetrical history and prenatal care visits history were retrieved from the maternal medical records, while infant’s birth outcomes were retrieved from infant medical records. The prevalence of LBW (<2.5 kg) in infants was 10.4%, with a mean birth weight of 3.0 [standard deviation (SD) 0.4] kg. Results from the multivariable logistic regression model showed that inadequate weight gained during pregnancy [odds ratio (OR) = 2.41, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.18–4.90] and exposure to SHS at home (OR = 1.92, 95% CI = 1.03–3.55) were significantly associated with LBW. In conclusion, pregnant women should monitor their rate of weight gain throughout pregnancy and avoid SHS exposure at home to reduce the risk of delivering LBW infants.
