[Significance of initial weight and weight development for the course and outcome of pregnancy]
1Frauenklinik, Rostock.
In a retrospective analysis the connection between pregravide weight and development of weight of the pregnant woman with regard to the duration of pregnancy and the birth weight of the child have been investigated, by means of the three-dimensional contingence-table-procedure. The rise in weight up to the 28th week of pregnancy as well as up to the end of pregnancy influence the characteristics of the child (duration of pregnancy and birth weight) in a significant measure. A rise in weight of more than 6 kg till the 28th week of pregnancy indicates with a high degree of probability a further normal progress of pregnancy. In the second part of the study tables showing normal values for the rise in weight during pregnancy are prepared on the basis of the tables showing optimal values according to Moehr.
