Obesity, gestational weight gain, and birth weight in women with gestational diabetes: the LINDA-Brasil (2014-2017) and the EBDG (1991-1995) studies.

CONCLUSIONS: These associations were similar in the EBDG, although not statistically significant. Improvements in gestational weight gain and rates of small for gestational age occurred over time in gestational diabetes mellitus pregnancies, accompanied by a worsening in maternal weight profile. This highlights the nutritional transition during this period and importance of avoiding excessive gestational weight gain as well as promoting adequate weight before conception.
