“…Women underreported their prepregnancy weight by 0.34 kg to 2.94 kg . The variability around this mean difference was moderate (Table ; standard deviation (SD) range: 2.2 kg –5 kg ). Correct classification of women into relevant weight classes was high (86.7 –91% ), but varied by prepregnancy weight class.…”

“…Studies most consistently reported on maternal age , socioeconomic status (SES) , and race/ethnicity . In these studies, black women had higher reporting errors compared to white women , and reporting error did not vary by SES . Evidence on variation of reporting error by maternal age was equivocal.…”

“…Most studies (62.9%) were conducted in the United States. Over half (61.3%) of populations were racially and ethnically heterogeneous . Cohorts represented births from 1959 to 2013 and length of recall ranged from three days to 32 years in the past .…”

“…Length of recall ranged from 9.2 weeks post conception (53) to 32 years in the past (48). A total of 16 studies had short lengths of recall (within 20 weeks of conception; (19,38,39,43,53,(56)(57)(58)(59)(60)63,68,(82)(83)(84)(85)), five studies had medium lengths of recall (20 weeks after conception to 1 year post-pregnancy; (5,14,35,66,86)), and two studies had long lengths of recall (>1 year postpregnancy; (48,72)). Studies with short and medium length recalls had similar findings and are reported together here.…”

“…Studies with short and medium length recalls had similar findings and are reported together here. Nine of the 21 short/medium length recall studies used gold-standard weight references (35,38,39,(57)(58)(59)(60)84,85). Among these gold-standard studies, correlation between self-reported and measured weight was high (r = 0.90 (58)-0.99 (35)).…”

The accuracy of self‐reported pregnancy‐related weight: a systematic review

et al. 2017

Self-reported maternal weight is error-prone, and the context of pregnancy may impact error distributions. This systematic review summarizes error in self-reported weight across pregnancy and assesses implications for bias in associations between pregnancy-related weight and birth outcomes. We searched PubMed and Google Scholar through November 2015 for peer-reviewed articles reporting accuracy of self-reported, pregnancy-related weight at four time points: prepregnancy, delivery, over gestation and postpartum. Included studies compared maternal self-report to anthropometric measurement or medical report of weights. Sixty-two studies met inclusion criteria. We extracted data on magnitude of error and misclassification. We assessed impact of reporting error on bias in associations between pregnancy-related weight and birth outcomes. Women underreported prepregnancy (PPW: -2.94 to -0.29 kg) and delivery weight (DW: -1.28 to 0.07 kg), and over-reported gestational weight gain (GWG: 0.33 to 3 kg). Magnitude of error was small, ranged widely, and varied by prepregnancy weight class and race/ethnicity. Misclassification was moderate (PPW: 0-48.3%; DW: 39.0-49.0%; GWG: 16.7-59.1%), and overestimated some estimates of population prevalence. However, reporting error did not largely bias associations between pregnancy-related weight and birth outcomes. Although measured weight is preferable, self-report is a cost-effective and practical measurement approach. Future researchers should develop bias correction techniques for self-reported pregnancy-related weight.

Reducing Postpartum Weight Retention and Improving Breastfeeding Outcomes in Overweight Women: A Pilot Randomised Controlled Trial

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Overweight and obesity is prevalent among women of reproductive age (42% BMI > 25 kg/m2) and parity is associated with risk of weight gain. Weight gain greater than that recommended by the Institute of Medicine (IOM )is also associated with lower rates of breastfeeding initiation and duration in women. The aim of this pilot randomised controlled trial is to examine the feasibility of recruiting and maintaining a cohort of pregnant women with the view of reducing postpartum weight retention and improving breastfeeding outcomes. Women (BMI of 25–35 kg/m2 (n = 36)) were recruited from the John Hunter Hospital antenatal clinic in New South Wales, Australia. Participants were stratified by BMI and randomised to one of three groups with follow-up to six months postpartum. Women received a dietary intervention with or without breastfeeding support from a lactation consultant, or were assigned to a wait-list control group where the dietary intervention was issued at three months postpartum. Feasibility and acceptability was assessed by participation rates and questionnaire. Analysis of variance and covariance was conducted to determine any differences between groups. Sixty-nine per cent of the participants were still enrolled at six months postpartum. This pilot demonstrated some difficulties in recruiting women from antenatal clinics and retaining them in the trial. Although underpowered; the results on weight; biomarkers and breastfeeding outcomes indicated improved metabolic health.
