“…Although postpartum weight was measured at two different time points, as in most other studies, postpartum weight retention was determined based on the self-reported pre-pregnancy weight. Nonetheless, there was a high level of concordance between self-reported and measured pre-pregnancy body weight [42,43]. Our participants were also recruited from mainly urban and peri-rural areas of three cities in Vietnam.…”

After delivery, mothers are encouraged to increase physical activity (PA) gradually to regulate body weight; however, data on PA in relation to postpartum weight retention remains scarce, particularly among Asian women. In a cohort of 1617 Vietnamese mothers, we investigated the prospective association between habitual PA exposures at 3-month postpartum and weight retention at 6-month and 12-month postpartum. Detailed information on PA intensity and domains was collected from participants using a validated instrument specifically for Vietnamese women. Linear regression analyses and a general linear model for the repeated weight retention measures were used to ascertain the apparent relationships. On average, the participants reported 3.6 (SD 3.9) and 2.6 (SD 3.8) kg weight loss at 6-and 12-month postpartum, respectively. Total and light-intensity PA were inversely associated with the postpartum weight retention (p for trend <0.05). Our findings highlight the importance of resuming PA in the early postpartum period as an appropriate weight management strategy.

“…The use of self-reported prepregnancy weight, although prone to underreporting, has been shown to have no effect on categorization of prepregnancy BMI or proportions of women gaining above or below guidelines. [53][54][55] Nutrition consultation was not always performed at the beginning of the pregnancy and many consults were performed due to diagnosis of gestational diabetes or an excessive weight gain trajectory. Thorough nutrition consultation at the beginning of pregnancy for all obese women may have a more beneficial effect.…”

Social Determinants of Gestational Weight Gain in an Obese, Low-Income Population

Objective To examine how social support factors affect compliance with gestational weight gain (GWG) recommendations in an obese, low-income, predominantly minority population. Study Design A retrospective cohort of 772 pregnant women with body mass index > 30 was reviewed. Univariate and multinomial logistic regression analyses were used to compare GWG with pregnancy planning, relationship status, participation in group prenatal care, nutritional education, and demographic factors. Subgroup analysis was performed to determine if differences existed in entry into prenatal care. Results Planned nature of pregnancy, relationship status, nutritional education, and group prenatal care did not significantly affect GWG. Women with planned pregnancies and in group prenatal care had their first appointment during the first trimester at a higher rate than those with unplanned pregnancy and in traditional care, respectively. Regardless of timing of nutrition consult, GWG was not affected. Nulliparous patients and Class 1 obese patients were more likely to have excessive GWG. Conclusion Social support factors in this study did not individually affect compliance with GWG recommendations in a low-income, obese pregnant population, although some factors were associated with earlier entry to prenatal care. Multimodal, longitudinal programs are likely necessary to achieve increased compliance with GWG recommendations in this population.

“…Classification of prepregnancy BMI relies on self-reported weight. Although women are likely to underestimate their prepregnancy weight, and more importantly when overweighed or obese (Bannon et al, 2017), previous studies have suggested that classification of prepregnancy BMI remains usually unchanged (Bannon et al, 2017;Holland, Moore Simas, Doyle Curiale, Liao, & Waring, 2013). Moreover, validity of prepregnancy weight was previously validated within the EDEN study using multiple pregnancy weights collected all over pregnancy (Diouf et al, 2014).…”

Although several studies have shown a positive association between socio‐economic position and size at birth, not enough is known about the modifiable factors that may be involved. We aimed to investigate whether maternal prepregnancy body mass index (BMI), smoking, diet, and depression during pregnancy mediate the positive association between maternal education and birth size. Weight and length z‐scores specific for gestational age and sex were calculated for 1,500 children from the EDEN mother–child cohort. A mediation analysis of the associations between maternal education and birth size was conducted with a counterfactual method, adjusted for recruitment centre, parity, maternal height, and age. In the comparison of children of mothers with low versus intermediate education levels, maternal smoking during pregnancy explained 52% of the total effect of education on birth weight. Similar findings were observed with birth length z‐score (37%). The comparison of children of mothers with high versus intermediate education levels yielded a non‐significant total effect, which masked opposite mediating effects by maternal BMI and smoking during pregnancy on both birth weight and length. Prepregnancy BMI and maternal smoking during pregnancy mediate the positive association between maternal education and birth weight and length z‐scores. These mediators, however, act in opposite directions, thereby masking the extent to which healthy prenatal growth is socially differentiated.
