Women’s diet and nutritional status during pregnancy are important in influencing birth outcomes. Therefore, INTERGROWTH-21st standards seem to be a better fit for healthy women in this population. GWG above the recommendations of both methods and below the INTERGROWTH-21st standard was associated with adverse perinatal outcomes. Inappropriate GWG remains a health concern irrespective of the method used to classify weight gain. Women with GWG below the INTERGROWTH-21st standards were more likely to deliver an infant SGA and with lower BW z-scores. Both methods also indicated that new-borns of women with excessive GWG had higher BW z-scores and increased risk of macrosomia and LGA. Among women with normal pre-pregnancy body mass indices (BMIs, n = 658), inappropriate GWG was high following both methods (IOM: 41.2% insufficient, 24.8% excessive INTERGROWTH-21st: 25.2% below − 1 z-score, 16.9% above 1 z-score). Insufficient GWG was associated with lower new-born BW z-scores. Excessive GWG was associated with higher new-born birthweight (BW) z-scores increased risks of macrosomia, large for gestational age (LGA), and caesarean delivery and lower risks of low birthweight (LBW) and being small for gestational age (SGA). Poisson and linear regression analyses were conducted to evaluate associations with perinatal outcomes.įollowing IOM guidelines (n = 1305), the rates of insufficient and excessive GWG were found to be similar (32%). GWG was classified according to two methods, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) guidelines and INTERGROWTH-21st standards.
