APPENDIX E 441 Results for instrumental delivery  Five studies examined instrumental delivery in addition to cesarean delivery.25,51,58,68,69 Two found no association.25,68 Of the remaining studies, one found a higher risk of instrumental delivery with increased weight gain only for normal BMI and overweight women,58 and a second found this only for overweight women.51 A third study, limited to women of normal weight, examined differences in the rate of vacuum extraction and forceps delivery by amount of weight gain; it found a higher rate of vacuum extraction with excessive weight gain but no difference in rate of forceps delivery.69 Results controlling for confounding  Studies varied in their adjustment for confounding factors. Seven studies controlled for route of previous delivery by limiting their sample to primary cesarean51,71,72,75 or primigravidas.69,73,74 Three studies included multigravidas but accounted for previous cesarean delivery in the analysis.76-78 The remaining 11 studies did not control for route of previous delivery.4,25,49,52,54,58,59,61,67,68,70 Of the 10 studies that controlled for route of previous delivery, five studies examined underlying health risks (e.g., preeclampsia, pregnancyinduced hypertension)

The difference between the results of these two studies lies in the fact that once the weight of the infant is removed from total weight gain, an important product of conception is missing from the measure of weight gain and thus the strength of the association is reduced.131 Other infant growth characteristics Study characteristics  Six studies examined the association between gestational weight gain and various other infant growth characteristics (Evidence Table 31, Table 25)

Postpartum weight retention seems to be especially problematic for obese women, who may be at risk for increases in fat mass and central adiposity in the postpartum period.143 In the long term, the effect of gestational weight gain on weight retention is less conclusive; two studies144,146 found little to no association between gestational weight gain and weight at 2.5 and 21 years after the index pregnancy and one study136 found that women who became overweight at 15 years followup had higher gestational weight gains compared to women who remained normal weight.

Two studies examined the impact of rate of weight gain according to the IOM guidelines on having an LGA infant.116,154 One good study defined the rate of weight gain in increments of 50 g per week.116 The AORs associated with having an LGA infant for each increment were as follows: 1.25 for normal-weight women, 1.14 for overweight women, and 1.13 for obese women.
