Obesity Level Decides Optimal Weight Gain for Obese Moms-To-Be
The authors suggested that the following pregnancy weight gain ranges to optimize birth outcomes- 20 to 30 pounds for class 1 women; 5 to 20 pounds for class 2 women and less than 10 pounds for class 3 women.
Women who gain less than the suggested amounts can still have healthy pregnancies provided their dietary intake is being monitored to ensure proper nutrition, said the authors.
"Obese women may face increased complications of pregnancy. Appropriate weight gain may lessen these risks for the baby, so we strongly encourage all obese women to receive nutrition and lifestyle counseling throughout their pregnancies," said Dr. Barbara Abrams, senior author of the study.
The study has been published online in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
