Obesity among women is increasing rapidly all over the
world, and more and more women in fertile age become overweight
and obese.

73% of the female patients at our obesity unit reported that their weight problems started with a pregnancy and that they
gained more than 10 kg after the pregnancy.

Most studies report a mean weight retention of 0.4-3.8 kg as a result of a pregnancy in studies with a
range of women from 87 to 113,606 women.

Factors involved in the weight development after pregnancy:
• Weight gain during pregnancy • Smoking cessation
• Changes in activity towards a more sedentary life style after pregnancy
• Socio-economic factors

The strongest factors……
• Strongest factor for predicting weight development after pregnancy is
1.weight gain during pregnancy 2.weight retention at one year after delivery.
• However, 50% of the high weight gainers during pregnancy lose their excess weight during the first year after delivery. Therefore, one year weight retention is a better starting point for intervention.

• Energy expenditure by full lactation ≈ 500 kcal/day
• However, no studies showing clinically important role of lactation for weight development after delivery

Small mean changes, but…..Small mean changes, but…..
Kappel et al found in data from 2845 women that 25% of white women and 40% of the black women had gained more than 9 pounds at 8-10 weeks after delivery.
Öhlin et al found in 1432 women that before pregnancy 13 % were overweight, at one year this number had increased to 21%.

LimitationsLimitations
1. Self-reported weight before pregnancy.
2. Few studies have representative control groups.
3. Interaction with other factors such as age, socio-economic variables are hard to rule out.
4. Still unclear when to do the follow-up, 6 months, 1 year, later?

SummarySummary
For the average woman pregnancy does not cause major weight retention, but in a subgroup of women pregnancy is associated with obesity.
Weight development during and after pregnancy is probably not an effect of one single strong factor. Instead numerous factors, of which some are unknown or unmeasurable, seem to interact.
