“…Another study by S. Lumbanraja et al in Indonesia showed that the birth weight of newborns ranged at 2500 -4000 gm [31]. (Mean 3119±399.86) which is similar to the birth weight found in our study.…”

Poor maternal, newborn and child health remains a significant problem in developing countries. Worldwide, 358,000 women die during pregnancy and childbirth every year and an estimated 7.6 million children die under the age of five [1,2]. while maternal and child mortality has declined in the last two decades, progress remains insufficient to achieve Millennium Development Goals 4 and 5, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. A child’s risk of dying is highest during the first 28 days of life when about 40% of under-five deaths take place, translating into three million deaths [2]. Up to one half of all newborn deaths occur within the first 24 hours of life and 75% occur in the first week. Globally, the main causes of neonatal death are preterm birth, severe infections and asphyxia. Children in low-income countries are nearly 18 times more likely to die before the age of five than children in high-income countries [3].

“…15 A positive linear relationship between GWG and the newborn weight was also found in the study from Patan Hospital 12 and Indonesia. 13 In Brazil, 13% of newborns born from mothers having excess weight gain were macrosomic, whereas women having appropriate weight gain had less than 1% macrosomic babies. They also found that there was a positive correlation between GWG and newborn birth weight.…”

Introduction: Gestational weight gain is an important predictor of the health of the newborn. It is affected by body mass index of the women. This study was conducted to find out gestational weight gain according to Institute of Medicine 2009 recommendation and relationship of newborn birth weight to body mass index and gestational weight gain of the women. Methods: It was cross sectional, hospital based study. The women, who attended at term pregnancy for delivery and having recorded first trimester body weight, were included in the study. Their body mass index was calculated and they were stratified into 4 groups according to body mass index. The gestational weight gain was calculated by subtracting first trimester body weight from body weight at the time of admission for delivery. All the women were followed till delivery. The newborn birth weight was taken immediately after delivery. Results: A total of 227 women were enrolled in the study. More than half of the women had normal body mass index. There were 36% overweight and obese women. Mean gestational weight gain was 10.21 kg, and mean weight of the newborn was 3.05 kg. There were equal number of women who had adequate weight gain and less weight gain according to the recommendation. Excess weight gain was seen in 15% of women. Women of higher body mass index and women who had gain more weight during pregnancy had larger newborns. Conclusions: Body mass index and gestational weight gain of the women were important predictors of birth weight of the newborn.

“…Studies have shown that more than 20 million babies, 15.5% of all the births worldwide, are annually born with low weight, and that amount is 18.6% in underdeveloped countries, 16.5% in developing countries, and 7% in the developed countries (2). Babies born with LBW are more likely to have health problems and slower development from immediately after birth to later in life (5). They suffer from extremely high rates of morbidity and mortality from infectious diseases and underweight, and stunting or wasting beginning in the neonatal period and lasting through childhood (6).…”

Background: Birth weight is the most important indicator of infant's health, and this critical index is directly related to mother's health. Hence, knowledge of the maternal chronic disease before and during the pregnancy can be considered as an effective factor in maintaining the infant's ideal weight. Babies with low birth weight are more susceptible to risks such as disabilities of neurological, respiratory diseases and sudden infant death syndrome. Therefore, identifying and modifying the risk factors can control and prevent low birth weight. Objectives: This study was performed to determine the association between mothers' chronic diseases and low birth weight in infants. Methods: In this descriptive study, 1500 infants from 12 health centers in east and west areas of Ahvaz were selected using the random cluster sampling method. The developed researcher checklist was used for data gathering. The data was analyzed with SPSS version 20, using descriptive indexes and Chi-square, t-test and ANOVA while P ≤ 0.05 was considered as significant. Results:The prevalence of LBW in Ahvaz from the beginning to the end of the year 2015 has been 9.5%. There is a significant relationship between the cardiovascular disease before pregnancy (P ≤ 0.003), anemia before pregnancy (P ≤ 0.001), hypertensive pregnancy (P ≤ 0.001), urinary tract infection during pregnancy (P ≤ 0.001), gestational diabetic in the mother (P ≤ 0.003) and LBW. Conclusions: Our study showed that many mothers' schronic disease such as cardiovascular disease, anemia, hypertensive, gestational diabetic and UTI have relationship with LBW. Therefore it seems essential to design and implement a detailed antenatal care program for mothers with chronic disease to reduce LBW, infant mortality and defects.
