Summary: CONCLUSION: Inadequate GWG was associated lower mean birth weights, lower rates of cesarean delivery and lower rates of pregnancy-related hypertensive disorders.Summary: OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of inadequate gestational weight gain (GWG) on neonatal birth weight in diabetic obese women.Summary: RESULT: A total of 211 obese diabetic women were identified. Of those, 37% had inadequate GWG, 25% had adequate GWG and 38% had excessive GWG. Women with inadequate GWG had lower mean birth weights (P=0.048), as well as lower rates of cesarean delivery (P=0.017) and lower rates of pregnancy-related hypertensive disorders (P=0.026) compared with those with adequate and excessive GWG.Summary: STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study of women with an initial body mass index (BMI) 30kgm(-2) and gestational or type 2 diabetes was conducted. GWG was stratified: inadequate (<11lbs), adequate (11 to 20lbs) or excessive (>20lbs). The primary outcome was birth weight. Secondary outcomes included hypertensive disorders, gestational age at delivery, mode of delivery and Apgar scores.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of inadequate gestational weight gain (GWG) on neonatal birth weight in diabetic obese women.

RESULT: A total of 211 obese diabetic women were identified. Of those, 37% had inadequate GWG, 25% had adequate GWG and 38% had excessive GWG. Women with inadequate GWG had lower mean birth weights (P=0.048), as well as lower rates of cesarean delivery (P=0.017) and lower rates of pregnancy-related hypertensive disorders (P=0.026) compared with those with adequate and excessive GWG.

GWG was stratified: inadequate (<11lbs), adequate (11 to 20lbs) or excessive (>20lbs). The primary outcome was birth weight.
