Weighty troubles for second time mothers This is the findings of a new study which says that even women who were not overweight but gained pounds after their first birth were at risk. The scientists, writing in The Lancet medical journal, said that the study of 150,000 Swedish women had profound public health implications. During the course of the study, from 1992 to 2001, the proportion of overweight and obese pregnant women in Sweden increased from 25 to 36 per cent. It was shown that a weight gain of more than three BMI units during the "interpregnancy period" was strongly linked with major problems both before and during childbirth, even in women who are not medically overweight. Moral of the story: Women of normal weight should avoid gaining weight between pregnancies. and overweight and obese women are likely to benefit from weight loss if they are planning to become pregnant.
