Too Much Weight Gain in Pregnancy Linked to Chubby Babies
Date:6/7/2011

TUESDAY, June 7 (HealthDay News) -- Women who gain an excessive amount of weight during pregnancy tend to have chubbier babies, a possible risk factor for childhood obesity, new research suggests.

The Institute of Medicine recommends that normal weight women gain 25 to 35 pounds during pregnancy. Overweight women should keep weight gain between 15 and 25 pounds, while obese women should limit weight gain to 11 to 20 pounds.

Researchers noted the link between pregnancy weight gain and baby's body fat regardless of the women's weight before becoming pregnant, although women who were obese before pregnancy were more likely to exceed the weight gain guidelines.

About 70 percent of obese women exceeded the weight gain recommendations compared to 31 percent of normal weight women.

The study was to be presented Tuesday at The Endocrine's Society's 93rd annual meeting in Boston.

"Excessive weight gain during pregnancy, regardless of pre-pregnancy weight, is an important risk factor for newborn obesity," said the study's principal investigator, Dr. Jami Josefson, a pediatric endocrinologist at Children's Memorial Hospital and assistant professor at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, in a news release from The Endocrine Society. "More research is needed to determine if high amounts of fat at birth are associated with high amounts of fat in childhood."

Because this study was presented at a medical meeting, the data and co
