“…Additionally, it has been shown that both maternal insulin resistance and the maternal total glucose production rate (GPR) are associated with fetal growth [24,29]. Prepregnancy body mass index (BMI) and BMI in late gestation are also related to infant birth weight [24,30]. …”

Background/Aims: During the last decades the number of large for gestational age infants delivered by nondiabetic mothers has increased. Our aim was to investigate to what extent fetal growth in nondiabetic pregnant women can be explained by rates of maternal energy substrate production and resting energy expenditure. Methods: Twenty nonsmoking pregnant women without impaired glucose tolerance and with a wide range of fetal weights (0.2–2.7 SDS) were investigated at 36 weeks of gestation. Maternal lipolysis, glucose production, resting energy expenditure, body composition and insulin resistance were assessed.Results: Median (range) glucose production rate was 805 (653–1,337) µmol/min and that of glycerol, reflecting lipolysis, was 214 (110–576) µmol/min. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that maternal fat mass explained 36% of the variation in insulin resistance, accounting for 62% of the variation in glucose production. Further, glucose production explained 31% of the variation in fetal weight. Resting energy expenditure explained 51% of the variation in estimated fetal weight. Conclusion: Fetal weight is dependent on maternal glucose production, which is in turn determined by the degree of insulin resistance, induced in part by the maternal fat mass. The variation in maternal resting energy expenditure is closely related to fetal weight.

ZusammenfassungKörperlich aktiv zu sein während der Schwangerschaft führt noch immer zu Verunsicherung und zu Fragen: Wie viel und welchen Sport soll eine Schwangere ausüben, welche Folgen entstehen für Mutter und Kind? Während der Schwangerschaft führen erhebliche physiologische Veränderun gen in der Hämodynamik, im Respirationstrakt, im muskuloskelettalen System, im Glukosestoff wechsel und im weiteren Endokrinium sowie in der Psyche zu tief greifenden Veränderungen, die sich mannigfaltig auf die Fitness und die sportliche Leistungsfähigkeit auswirken. Unter Berück sichtigung allgemeiner Trainingshinweise, Vorsichtsmaßnahmen und Kontraindikationen ist ein Training entsprechend dem Fitnessgrad der Mutter zum Erhalt physischer und psychischer Fit ness möglich und wünschenswert. Viele Sportarten (Joggen, Nordic Walking, Schwimmen, Rad fahren u. a.) können in einer Schwangerschaft ohne Risiko betrieben werden. Die Auflockerung des Bindegewebes und die konsekutiven Bandinstabilitäten müssen sorgfältig bezüglich der aero ben Belastbarkeit berücksichtigt werden. Die Verletzungsgefahren bestehen bei fortgeschrittener Schwangerschaft in einer direkten Traumatisierung des Feten. Durch regelmäßige körperliche Ak tivität wird ein gesünderer Lebensstil gepflegt, weiter wird schwangerschaftsbedingten Erkrankun gen und deren Folgen vorgebeugt. AbstractBeing physically active during pregnancy often leads to uncertainty and questions: how much and which kinds of sport are possible? Changes in fitness and physical performance in pregnant women arise due to many physiological changes in hemodynamics, the respiratory system, the musculo skeletal system, glucose metabolism, endocrinological feedback and also in the psyche. Consid ering general recommendations for training, careful measures and contraindications, moderate or even vigorous training is possible depending on the individual mother's fitness and desirable to maintain physical and emotional fitness. Many kinds of sport such as jogging, nordic walking, swimming and cycling can be carried on during pregnancy without risk and promote the health of both mother and child. However, the mother's increasing weight and the resultant instability of ligaments must be kept carefully in mind to create a moderate aerobic workload. The danger of injury is present in later pregnancy and may lead to fetal trauma. For the pregnant woman a seri ous injury also includes the risks involved in the diagnostics and therapy. Regular physical activity means paying regular attention to a healthy lifestyle. This prevents diabetes, obesity, hypertension, thromboembolic deseases and their consequences in the mother's life but also the child's wellbeing.

Females born large for gestational age have a doubled risk of giving birth to large for gestational age infants

Abstract: Females, born LGA, have an increased risk to give birth to LGA infants, compared to mothers born not LGA. Maternal overweight increases this risk even further.
