Prepregnancy overweight and obesity are associated with higher risk of perinatal complications. However, the effect of weight change prior to pregnancy on perinatal outcome is largely unknown. Therefore, it is aimed to examine the impact on perinatal outcomes of interpregnancy BMI change in women of different BMI categories. The MEDLINE, EMBASE, LILACS, and CINAHL databases were searched (1990-August 2019). Observational studies on interpregnancy BMI change were selected. Outcomes evaluated were gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), preeclampsia, gestational hypertension (GH), cesarean section, preterm birth, and newborns being large (LGA) or small (SGA) for gestational age. Meta-analyses and meta-regression analyses were executed. Thirty studies were included (n > 1 million). Interpregnancy BMI gain was associated with a higher risk of GDM (for BMI gain ≥3 kg/m : OR 2.21; [95%CI 1.53-3.19]), preeclampsia (1.77 [1.53-2.04]), GH (1.78 [1.61-1.97]), cesarean section (1.32 [1.24-1.39]), and LGA (1.54 [1.28-1.86]). The effects of BMI gain were most pronounced in women with BMI <25 kg/m before the first pregnancy regarding GDM, GH, and cesarean section. Except for LGA, interpregnancy BMI loss did not result in a decreased risk of perinatal complications. In this study, women of normal weight who gain weight before pregnancy were identified as a high-risk population for perinatal complications. This emphasizes that weight management is important for women of all BMI categories and a pregnancy wish.

Background: Maternal preconception and pregnancy exposures have been linked to offspring adiposity. We aimed to quantify the effect of changes in maternal weight and smoking status between pregnancies on childhood overweight/obesity (≥ 85th centile) and obesity (≥ 95th centile) rates in second children.
Methods: Records for 5612 women were drawn from a population-based cohort of routinely collected antenatal healthcare records (2003-2014) linked to measured child body mass index (BMI) age 4-5 years.

Article Synopsis
- Women who had gestational diabetes (GDM) in their first pregnancy are likely to have it again in their next, but even those without previous GDM can develop it later.
- A study involving 759 women examined their GDM history in two pregnancies and categorized them based on their glucose tolerance status.
- Key predictors for developing GDM included family history, pregravid obesity, and specific glucose levels during the first OGTT, highlighting that higher glucose levels in the first pregnancy significantly raise the risk of GDM in subsequent pregnancies.
Utilization of Immediate Postpartum Contraception and Its Association with Interpregnancy Interval: 10-Year Experience at a Single Center.

Objective: Increasing availability of immediate postpartum long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) has added contraceptive alternatives to bilateral tubal ligation (BTL) in the immediate postpartum period. The resultant access to long-term contraception has provided patients with improved control over the timing of pregnancies. Our objective is to evaluate changes in the utilization of immediate postpartum contraceptive methods over a 10-year period and its association with interpregnancy interval (IPI).

Objective: To identify individual- and community-level factors that predict the odds of multigravid Black women having consecutive pregnancies without adverse pregnancy outcomes.
Methods: We conducted a secondary analysis of 515 multigravid Black women from a longitudinal observational study (2017-2019). We assessed the presence of adverse pregnancy outcomes (hypertensive disorders, gestational diabetes, preterm birth, fetal growth restriction, placental abruption, and pregnancy loss) for the index and prior pregnancies.
Practical weight management to minimize pregnancy complications and promote women's health: the possibility of interpregnancy care.

Pregnancy is an excellent opportunity to provide medical interventions to women. It is also a stress test used to predict health. Numerous studies have demonstrated that the pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and gestational weight gain (GWG) are critical factors for pregnancy complications such as hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), large or small gestational age infants, and spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB).
