The degree of weight gain during pregnancy as a risk factor for a mother and her newborn is a disputable problem. Most of the studies have shown, that maternal overweight gain has a bad effect on labor delivery outcome. The present study included 108 pregnant women, subdivided into three groups, according to weight gain during pregnancy: Group I(32) - < 12 kg, Group II(42) - 12 < - < 20 kg. Group III(34) - > 20 kg. The patients were estimated according to their age, parity, pregnancy induced hypertension and mode of delivery. The authors investigated biochemical indicators of protein, lipid and electrolyte balance. The results illustrate the influence of prenatal overweight gain on the pregnancy complication, mode of delivery and some biochemical changes.
