ABSTRACT

Nowadays, weight - gain monitoring in pregnant women is made through body mass index at the beginning of pregnancy, but it is unable to detect the real body fat percentage, which would be ideal in order to guide their weight gains. This study aimed at determining the proportion of excessive gestational gains according to pregestational status and neonatal macrosomia. The greatest gains were checked in women with an adequate weight, which provided almost half of big births. Nutritional status is not sufficient for guiding gestational weight gains, mainly for its direct relation with weight of the product and future complications.
