Abstract: While the contribution of maternal gain to birth weight is well described, the increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity in pre-pregnant women may be a particular issue. The average body mass index (BMI) is increasing among all age categories and women enter pregnancy at higher weights. Most of the women who are overweight (25-30 BMI) or obese (≥ 30 BMI) present a greater risk of adverse reproductive health outcomes compared to normal weight status (19.8-25 BMI). Therefore, obesity not only has direct implications for the health of a pre-pregnant women but also impacts on the weight of the child in infancy and beyond. Further inside to identify the strategy of prevention the overweight and birth outcomes is presented.
