Article Synopsis
- The study aims to understand dietary patterns during the second trimester of pregnancy and their influence on gestational weight gain (GWG).
- A cohort of 1,004 healthy pregnant women in Chengdu provided dietary data through a 3-day dietary recall, revealing three main dietary patterns: Milk-egg-whole grain, Beverage-dessert, and Traditional.
- Results showed that the Beverage-dessert pattern was linked to higher GWG and weight gain rates in the third trimester, while the Traditional pattern was associated with lower total GWG; Milk-egg-whole grain showed no effect on GWG.

Objective: To investigate the dairy product intake during pregnancy in Southwest China and to explore its relationship with neonatal birth body mass.
Methods: A prospective study was conducted to select healthy singleton pregnant women at 8-14 weeks of gestation in a maternal and fetal health care institution in Chengdu City. Dairy product consumption during the first, second, third trimester of pregnancy were collected by 24-hour dietary recalls at 8-14 weeks, 24-28 weeks and 32-36 weeks of pregnancy, respectively, and the total milk intake and milk consumption rate were calculated.
Objective: To evaluate the effects of gestational weight gain (GWG) in the first trimester (GWG-F) and the rate of gestational weight gain in the second trimester (RGWG-S) on gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), exploring the optimal GWG ranges for the avoidance of GDM in Chinese women.
Design: A population-based prospective study was conducted. Gestational weight was measured regularly in every antenatal visit and assessed by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) criteria (2009).
