Nutrition Through the Life Cycle (...
The next two questions refer to this situation:
Assume a woman with a singleton pregnancy weighed 154 pounds prior to pregnancy and is 5′7″ tall.
9. _____ What would be the recommended range of total weight for her pregnancy in pounds (lb) and kilograms (kg)?
- a. 28–40 lb, 12.7–18.2 kg
- b. 25–35 lb, 11.4–15.9 kg
- c. 15–20 lb, 6.8–9.1 kg
- d. 22–27 lb, 10–12.3 kg
Introduction: Pre-pregnancy weight has a great influence on the weight gain of a pregnant woman and birth weight. To plan the birth of a healthy newborn, the weight of the mother should be checked and monitored as per the physician’s recommendations.
Reasons for the correct answer:
Option b. is given as “25-35 lb, 11.4-15.9kg”.
As per recommendations, pre pregnancy BMI determines the recommended weight gain of a pregnant woman during pregnancy, which is as follows:
| BMI status of the woman prior to pregnancy | Weight gain recommended |
| Underweight | 28-40lb |
| Normal weight | 25-35lb |
| Overweight | 15-25lb |
| Obese | 11-20lb |
| Twin pregnancy | 25-54lb |
Since a woman has a BMI of 24.1kg/m2, which is considered normal; therefore, as per recommendations, she should gain 25-35lb during pregnancy.
Hence, option b...
