TL;DR
Low weight gain in pregnancy was associated with increased risk of preterm delivery, particularly if women were underweight or of average weight before pregnancy, and the magnitude of risk varied according to a woman's prepregnancy BMI.
Abstract
Low weight gain in pregnancy was associated with increased risk of preterm delivery, particularly if women were underweight or of average weight before pregnancy.

The findings indicate that the prevalence of fetal growth restriction (FGR) will vary markedly, depending on the fetal growth curve used, and many previously published fetal growth curves no longer provide an up-to-date reference for describing the distribution of birth weight by gestational age.

544 Citations1992TO Scholl, M L Hediger +2 more
Using criteria from the Centers for Disease Control, anemia and iron-deficiency anemia (anemia with serum ferritin concentrations less than 12 micrograms/L) were assessed in greater than 800 inner-city gravidas at entry to prenatal care.

Both lower and higher weight gains and net weight gains per week were associated with an increased risk for preterm delivery; however, variation in the associations across body mass index groups was not as marked.

433 Citations1988Michael S. Kramer
The positive predictive values of the LNMP GA estimates decreased dramatically from term to preterm to postterm, and the systematic errors in menstrual GA estimates have profound implications for unnecessary induction, dysfunctional labor and cesarean section, and resultant neonatal and maternal morbidity.

314 Citations1993Kenneth G. Keppel, S M Taffel
The findings suggest that Black women are in need of advice about how to lose weight following delivery, and if pregnant White women gain weight according to the institute's guidelines, they need not be concerned about retaining a substantial amount of weight postpartum.

It is concluded that anemia during the second trimester was associated with preterm birth, however, it does not account for the large ethnic differences in pre term birth.

The most important maternal predictors of weight gain per trimester were age and Asian race-ethnicity in the first trimester; pre-pregnancy body mass, parity, and height in the second; and hypertension, age, and parity in the third.

Inadequate weight gain during the third trimester as opposed to excessive gain, defined specifically for each pre-pregnancy weight status, was predictive of preterm birth.

Among the urban poor, a marginal zinc intake during pregnancy may play an important role in the duration of gestation and is associated with increased risk of preterm and very preterm delivery.

140 Citations1989Barbara Abrams, Vicky A. Newman +2 more
Analysis of the relationship between maternal weight gain and preterm delivery in 2163 women who participated in the Prenatal Nutrition Project at the University of California, San Diego between 1978–1986 indicated that the risk of spontaneous preterm birth increased in women with a low rate of weight gain.

Weight gain during pregnancy and pregnancy outcome in a cohort of 1790 teenage gravidas from Camden, New Jersey is studied to suggest that supplementation, intervention, or prenatal care protocols for adolescents that do not focus on balanced weight gain during adolescence may reduce preterm delivery but may not significantly affect the incidence of intrauterine growth retardation.

In a case-control study, whether occupational and nonoccupational (hobbies) chemical exposures to women in the periconceptional period increased their risk for having neural tube defect-affected pregnancies is investigated.

The 1988 National Maternal and Infant Health Survey and the Longitudinal Followup of mothers in the survey began in January 1991 will provide useful data for clinicians in maternal and child health.
Obstetrics and GynecologyMaternal anthropometry and idiopathic preterm labor
108 Citations1995Michael Krämer, A COATES +4 more
Maternal short stature, low pre-pregnancy BMI, and low rate of gestational weight gain may lead to shortened gestation by increasing the risk of idiopathic preterm labor.

107 Citations1993M. S. Kramer
Neither balanced isoenergetic protein supplementation nor high-protein supplementation appears beneficial to either mother or infant and may even impair fetal growth, and future trials should concentrate on prevention of preterm birth and fetal and neonatal death.

It is suggested that a low thirdtrimester rate of weight gain, defined using TOM guidelines, is associated with an increased risk of spontaneous preterm delivery among nonobese black and white women.
American Journal of Obstetrics and GynecologyProportional weight gain and complications of pregnancy, labor, and delivery in healthy women of normal prepregnant stature
70 Citations1986M J Shepard, Karen Hellenbrand +1 more
Clinicians should consider proportional weight gain when advising healthy women about weight gain during pregnancy, and the size of the infant was a significant risk factor for prolonged second stage of labor in primigravid women but not in multig Gravid women.
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology111 Weight Gain in Women with Gestational Diabetes
60 Citations1993Patrick Catalano, Noreen M. Roman +4 more
Weight gain in women with gestational diabetes is less than in control patients, primarily because of greater pregravid weight, and does not correlate with neonatal birth weight.

59 Citations1998Arsenio Spinillo, Ezio Capuzzo +4 more
The risk of spontaneous preterm delivery associated with a low pre-pregnancy body mass index is greater among patients with low rate of gestational weight gain during the second and third trimesters compared to those with a higher rate.

The observations indicate that the output of PGFM by the uterus is controlled in some way by the availability of nutrients and emphasize the importance of a regular food intake during late gestation in the ewes.

These newly found differences in cholesterol and triglyceride levels, weight gain, and blood pressure between type I diabetic and control women during gestation may have long-term cardiovascular implications.
American Journal of Human BiologyInfluence of prepregnant body mass and weight gain for gestation on spontaneous preterm delivery and duration of gestation during adolescent pregnancy
29 Citations1989Theresa O. Scholl, Mary L. Hediger +3 more
The results suggest that current maternal nutritional status, as measured by weight gain during pregnancy, may influence preterm delivery and gestation duration, and inconsistent results obtained with prepregnancy body mass may reflect a size bias inherent in the obstetric estimate of gestation, rather than effects of prepregnant maternal nutritionalstatus on gestation.

Assessment of the association of maternal nutrition and dehydration with preterm uterine contractility found there was an association between preterm contractions and both ketonuria and the absence of edema, and inexpensive clinical measurements of nutritional status may help to identify women at risk for preterm maternity contractility.
