Association between parity, pre-pregnancy body mass index and gestational weight gain

Abstract: We found an inverse correlation between parity and the total GWG, but initial BMI was significantly higher in multiparas. Nevertheless, monitoring of the GWG through actions that promote a healthier lifestyle is needed, regardless of parity and nutritional status, in order to prevent excessive GWG and postpartum weight retention and consequently inadequate pre-pregnancy nutritional status in future pregnancies.

“…It is known that women who gain weight excessively or inadequately during pregnancy are at increased risks of poor maternal and child health outcomes. [39][40][41][42] In summary, our study shows that the obese women were older than the controls, and that obesity in early pregnancy increased the risk of hyperglycemic disorders, hypertensive disorders, cesarean delivery, fetal macrosomia, and fetal acidosis.…”

“…Another observational study performed in Brazil also drew attention to this factor: the large number of women, who began gestation in the overweight and obesity ranges, contributes to a worse outcome in relation to postpartum weight variation. 24 This data demonstrates the importance that must be given to this population, by means of public policies aiming women in the reproductive age, and not just for the extremes of low weight and obesity.…”
