“…Heavy individuals often have sedentary lifestyles, which have been associated with increased risk of preterm birth. 22 The strong relation between obesity and maternal complications of pregnancy (gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, eclampsia) could potentially explain the higher rates of fetal macrosomia, cesarean delivery, and very early delivery for obese and overweight women in our study. However, increased risk of adverse outcomes remained after excluding women with pregestational or gestational diabetes or hypertension.…”

OBJECTIVES: This study examined the associations between prepregnancy weight and the risk of pregnancy complications and adverse outcomes among nulliparous women. METHODS: We conducted a population-based cohort study with 96,801 Washington State birth certificates from 1992 to 1996. Women were categorized by body mass index. Multivariate logistic regression was performed. RESULTS: The rate of occurrence of most of the outcomes increased with increasing body mass index category. Compared with lean women, both overweight and obese women had a significantly increased risk for gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, eclampsia, cesarean delivery, and delivery of a macrosomic infant. CONCLUSIONS: Among nulliparous women, not only prepregnancy obesity but also overweight increases the risk of pregnancy complications and adverse pregnancy outcomes.

“…73 Maternal fiziksel aktivitenin uterin kan akımında azalma ve stres hormonlarının (örneğin; kortikotropin "releasing" hormon) kan düzeylerinde artış yaparak riski artırdığı iddia edilmişse de maternal aktivite ve preterm doğum arasındaki ilişki tam olarak belirlenememiştir. 74,75 Öte yandan, uzun süre ayakta durma ile preterm doğum arasında artmış risk saptanmıştır. [76][77][78] Farklı çalışma-larda, preterm doğum ile haftalık total çalışma saatleri (örneğin; >36 saat/hafta çalışmak, >45 saat/hafta çalışmak; iş gereği fazla fiziksel egzersiz (örneğin; ağır kaldırmak); kötü çalışma ortamı (örneğin; ses, stres); endüstriyel makine operatörlüğü; öğün atlama arasında bir korelasyon olduğu gösterilmiştir.…”
