Ideal gestational weight gain varies by pre-pregnancy BMI in twin pregnancy
For people giving birth to twins, the gestational weight gain range with the lowest risk for adverse perinatal outcomes was similar among those with a pre-pregnancy BMI of underweight or normal weight.
However, the ideal range for gestational weight gain (GWG) for twin pregnancy decreased with each successively higher BMI category, data in JAMA Network Open showed. The data suggest that the current United States Institute of Medicine GWG recommendations should be lower.
