Abstract :
Obesity is increasingly common in the obstetric population. Maternal obesity and excess gestational weight gain (GWG) are associated with increased perinatal risk. There is limited published data demonstrating the level of pregnant women's knowledge regarding these problems, their consequences and management strategies. This study was done at Nupoor Nursing Home ISO 9001-2008 Certified hospital, City light, Surat. 100 patients were taken for the study. Out of 100 patients 50 patients have gone through regular nutritional counseling and weight monitoring during pregnancy. Their height, pre pregnancy weight, BMI, total weight gain during pregnancy, dietary habits etc. were observed and compared with control group. And finding suggests that there is a huge impact of nutrition counseling on overall weight gain during pregnancy.
