Related to Pregnancy. Pregnancy Weight Linked to Heavy Kids. April 2, 2007 -- Mothers-to-be who follow widely accepted recommendations for weight gain during pregnancy may still be putting their babies at risk for becoming overweight early in life, Harvard Medical School researchers report.
Weight gain is especially important between weeks 20 to 24 of pregnancy. If a mother of twins gains 24 pounds by the 24th week of pregnancy, she reduces her chance of preterm labor. Early weight gain is also vital for the development of the placenta, which aids in the passing of nutrients to the babies. Weight gain depends on a number of factors including height, body type, and pre-pregnancy weight. However, most women who are carrying twins are encouraged to gain 35 to 45 pounds.
