Objective

To establish gestational age-specific weight gain trajectories associated with birth outcomes—small for gestational age (SGA), appropriate for gestational age (AGA), and large for gestational age (LGA)—among females with different pre-pregnancy body mass index (preBMI) categories in Guangxi, China, and to compare these trajectories with the current national guidelines. The goal is to provide evidence for developing region-specific recommendations on gestational weight gain (GWG).

Methods

This study included 5 562 singleton pregnant females who delivered at the Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region between 2019 and 2021 and had complete clinical records. Gestational weight gain percentile curves were constructed for each birth weight category based on different preBMI strata and were compared with national guideline ranges. Logistic regression was used to assess associations between preBMI-specific GWG at different gestational stages and neonatal birth weight outcomes.

Results

For AGA outcomes, the recommended total GWG ranges were 12.81-16.50 kg for underweight females, 11.87-16.17 kg for normal-weight females, 10.46-15.41 kg for overweight females, and 7.51-13.29 kg for obese females. These ranges were all slightly higher than those suggested by the national guidelines,indicating potential regional differences in gestational weight gain. Total GWG was negatively associated with the risk of SGA and positively associated with the risk of LGA, with the impact on SGA gradually diminishing as preBMI increased. For SGA,weight gain during the first and second trimesters was negatively associated with the risk of SGA in females with underweight and normal pre-pregnancy BMI, while a similar trend was observed in overweight females during the second trimester. For LGA,weight gain in the first and second trimesters was positively associated with the risk of LGA in underweight and overweight females. In normal-weight females, a similar association was observed across all trimesters, whereas in obese females, positive associations were found in the first and third trimesters.

Conclusion

Gestational weight gain demonstrates significant regional characteristics. Developing region-specific and preBMI-based gestational age-specific GWG guidelines may be crucial for effectively reducing the incidence of both SGA and LGA.
