Gestational Weight Gain

The study says that following a simple Mediterranean-style diet might not be able to the overall risk of adverse maternal and offspring complications, but it may help reduce risk of gestational diabetes and weight gain during pregnancy.

According to American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, pregnant women can do around 30 minutes of moderate exercise in a day. This is unless they have any medical condition or are experiencing complications related to pregnancy.

The data suggested that both short and long sleep duration in pregnancy are associated with gestational weight gain.

Both too short and too long sleep durations in pregnancy are associated with extremes of gestational weight gain, says a new study.

Women who gained 8 or more kilograms after their first baby was born are more than three times more likely to develop gestational diabetes during their second pregnancy.

Children whose mothers gain too much weight during pregnancy tend to have more body fat than those whose mothers stayed within the recommended weight-gain range.

Women who gain weight too quickly during the first three months of pregnancy are more prone to develop pregnancy-related diabetes, known as gestational diabetes.

Obese women who gain more than 15 pounds during pregnancy tend to retain much of it long after delivery.

Women diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) who gain excess weight are at increased risk of preterm and cesarean delivery.

Women who diet a lot gain more weight during pregnancy than their peers who are more relaxed about eating.

Women can cut down the risk of developing gestational diabetes by not gaining weight prior to pregnancy.

Diabetes can develop in some women during pregnancy, but rates of this condition are lower in women with iron deficiency. Rather than being a directly protective factor, however, it may be that anaemia is just an indicator of poor nutrition and low pregnancy-related weight gain, which may reduce the likelihood of so-called gestational diabetes occu...

A newborn's birth weight and a mother's weight after pregnancy is influenced not just by how much weight she gains during pregnancy, but also by the source of her excess weight.
