Clinical Observation of Effects of Prepregnancy Body Mass Index and Weight Gain during Pregnancy on Neonatal Weight and Delivery Outcome

Abstract

Objective. The increase of BMI before pregnancy and during pregnancy will lead to hypertensive disorder in pregnancy (HDP) and abnormal glycolipid metabolism, as well as increase the risk of neonatal weight abnormalities and adverse pregnancy outcome. This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 358 women who were admitted to the obstetrics department of our hospital from January 2018 to July 2019. And the relationship between prepregnancy BMI, BMI increase during pregnancy and delivery methods, postpartum hemorrhage, neonatal weight, premature delivery, neonatal asphyxia, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and hypertension during pregnancy (HDP) was observed and compared. The results show that both high BMI before pregnancy and excessive weight gain during pregnancy can lead to the incidence of abnormal birth weight and adverse birth outcome increase. Therefore, in order to reduce the incidence of neonatal weight abnormalities and adverse birth outcomes and to prevent the adverse effects during pregnancy and postpartum, clinically, obese women should be guided to eat according to reasonable diet and exercise to control their weight.

A high protein low glycemic index diet has no adverse effect on blood pressure in pregnant women with overweight or obesity: a secondary data analysis of a randomized clinical trial

“…Saturated fat (E %) 2,3 MUFA (E %) 2,3 PUFA (E %) Protein from dairy (E %) 2,3 Protein from seafood (E %) 5,6 25.1 ± 4. Total sugar (E %) 2,3 Fiber (g/100 kcal/d) 3,7 Glycemic index 8,9 42.7 ± 6.5 %, percentage of total energy consumption. 2 Presented as percent of total energy intake from an average of two 24-hr recalls.…”

“…This concern is particularly relevant for women with overweight or obesity [defined as a body mass index (BMI) ≥25 kg/m 2 or ≥ 30 kg/ m 2 , respectively], because excess body weight and body fat during pregnancy are associated with many health risks, including increased risk of cesarean section, premature delivery, excess birthweight, abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism, hypertensive disorders, postpartum hemorrhage and neonatal asphyxia (6)(7)(8). Hypertensive disorders, in particular, are associated with an increased risk of pulmonary edema, placental abruption, small-for-gestational age, and even perinatal death (9).…”

Effects of Antenatal Lifestyle Interventions in Pregnant Women with Normal Body Mass Index

“…Maternal overweight and obesity can affect the gestational process, as well as delivery and the postpartum health of both mothers and their infants. In addition to pre-pregnancy body weight, gestational weight gain (GWG) also plays an important role in maternal and infant health outcomes ( 2 ).…”
