Episode 281: 280. How Much Weight Does an Obese Mother Need to Gain?

  • Weight gain <5 kg was not associated with risk for the composite outcome among women with class 1 and 2 obesity (BMIs, ≥30–39.9 kg/m2).
  • Weight gain <5 kg and weight loss were associated with lower risk for the composite outcome, compared with recommended weight gain, in women with class 3 obesity (BMIs, ≥40 kg/m2; rate ratio, 0.81)
  • As the authors suggest—my take away bottom line

    These findings suggest that a low amount of weight gain or weight loss is safe in pregnant women with obesity, and might even be beneficial for those with class 3 obesity.
