Energy Requirements in Pregnancy
• Increased energy costs in pregnancy:– increased maternal metabolic rate – fetal tissues– increase in maternal tissues
Estimated Energy Requirement
• Average dietary energy intake that is predicted to maintain energy balance in a healthy adult of a defined age, gender, weight, height, level of physical activity consistent with good health.
• In children, pregnant and lactating women the EER is taken to include the needs associated with deposition of tissues or secretion of milk
BEE: Basal Energy Expenditure
• BEE = energy consumed while at rest and fasting
• In pregnancy BEE increases due to metabolic contribution of uterus and fetus and increased work of heart and lungs.
• Variable for individuals
Growth of Maternal and Fetal Tissues
• Calculations Based on:– Hytten– IOM weight gain recommendations
Longitudinal Data from DLW Database
• Median TEE (total energy expenditure) change from non-pregnant was 8 kcal/gestational week.
• TEE changes little in first trimester.
Variations in Energy Requirements
• Body size - especially lbm• Activity:
– most women decrease activity in last months of pregnancy if they can
– increased energy cost of moving heavier body• BMR
– rises in well nourished women (27%)– rises less or not at all in women who are not
well nourished• -Diet Induced Thermogenesis?
Evidence of energy sparing in Gambian women during pregnancy: a longitudinal study using whole-body calorimetry (AJCN, 1993)
• N=58, initially recruited, ages 18-40– 25 became pregnant– 21 participated in study protocols– 9 completed BMR and 24 hour energy
expenditure– 12 completed BMR
• Adjusted for seasonality, weight loss expected during wet season
Poppitt et al., cont.
• Mean maternal prepregnancy weight was 52 kg
• Mean prepregnancy BMI was 21.2 + 2
• Mean birthweight was 3.0 + 0.1
• Mean gestational length was 39.4
• Mean weight gain was 6.8 kg
• Mean fat gain was 2.0 kg at 36 weeks
Poppitt et al., cont.
• BMR fell in early pregnancy
• Values per kg lbm remained below baseline for duration of pregnancy
• Individual variation was high
Poppitt et al., cont.
• Energy sparing mechanisms may act via a suppression of metabolism in women on habitually low intakes.
• This maintains positive balance in the mother and protects the fetus from growth retardation

Longitudinal assessment of energy balance in well-nourished, pregnant women (Koop-Hoolihan et al, AJCN, 1999)
• N=16, SF area– 10 became pregnant
• BMI range was 19-26
• Mean weight gain at 36 weeks was 11.6 + 4 kg
• Mean birth weight was 3.6 kg
Koop-Hoolihan, cont
• Protocol: 5 times before pregnancy, 3 times during, once 4-6 weeks postpartum– RMR (resting metabolic rate/metabolic cart)– DIT (diet induced thermogenesis/metabolic cart)– TEE (total energy expenditure/doubly labeled
water)– AEE (activity energy expenditure/difference
between TEE and RMR)– EI (energy intake/3 day food records)– Body composition - densitometry, tbw, bmc with
absorptiometry
Koop-Hoolihan, cont• Women with the largest cumulative
increase in RMR deposited the least fat mass (this was the only prepregnant factor that predicted fat mass gain)
• In all indices there was large individual variation
• Average total energy cost of pregnancy was similar to work of Hytten and Leitch (1971)
• Food intake records indicated 9% increase in kcals with pregnancy, but highly variable

Weight Gain During Pregnancy: Reexamining the Guidelines (IOM, 2009)
• New Guidelines• Conceptual Framework• Composition and Components of Weight Gain• Determinants of Weight Gain• Maternal Consequences of Weight Gain • Child Consequences of Weight Gain• Determining Optimal Weight Gain• Achieving Recommendations
2009 Guidelines for Specific Populations
Women of Short Stature
“unable to identify evidence sufficient to continue to support a modification of GWG guidelines”
Pregnant Adolescents
“unable to identify evidence sufficient to continue to support a modification of GWG guidelines”
Racial or Ethnic Groups
“Recommendations should be generally applicable to the various racial or ethnic subgroups”
Women with Multiple Fetuses
Provisional Guidelines for Twins (at term):–Underweight: insufficient evidence
–Normal Weight: 17-25 kg
–Overweight : 14-23 kg
–Obese: 11-19 kg
Obesity Classes II and III
Insufficient evidence to develop more specific recommendations.
Determinants: Social & Policy FindingsHealth Services
Evidence for influence is weak; advice missing, inconsistent, erroneous
Community “neighborhood environments can influence GWG by providing access to healthy foods and opportunities for PA”
Family Married women more likely to gain within guidelines; association between partner violence and insufficient GWG; family support associated with good GWG
SES Interactive and confounding effects; food insecurity in obese women associated with high GWG
Determinants: Genetics
• Maternal: insufficient evidence• Fetal: GWG associated with birthweight; preliminary
conclusions about fetal genotype and birthweight:(a) there is a fetal genotype effect on weight at birth (about 30
percent of the adjusted variance) (b) both parents’ genes influence birth weight with a stronger effect
for maternal genes (c) specific allelic variants have been associated with weight at
birth (d) mutations in GCK and HNF1β are associated with low birth
weight(e) mutations in HNF4α are associated with high birth weight (f) a few quantitative trait loci on chromosomes 6, 10, and 11 have
been uncovered from genome-wide linkage scans
Determinants: Maternal Factors
Pregravid BMI In general GWG decreases as BMI increases; but large variation
Hyperemesis Gravidarum
Mild n/v no adverse effect; HG lower GWG
Disordered Eating
AN: variable
BN: greater GWG
Depression Both low and high GWG
Stress Low GWG
Determinants: Maternal Behaviors
Diet Relationship between energy intake and GWG; insufficient evidence for diet composition and GWG
Physical Activity
Inverse relationship between PA and GWG
Tobacco “Limited” evidence for inverse association with GWG; smoking has independent effect on birth weight.
“There remains a lack of information to relate dietary intake or physical activity to GWG even though they are primary determinants of weigh gain in non-pregnant individuals.”
Consequences of GWG for Mother
• Strong association between high GWG &:– increased risk of cesarean delivery– postpartum weight retention (3 mos to 3 yr)
• Modest association:– failure to initiate breastfeeding
• Inconclusive evidence: – pregnancy complications like glucose intolerance and
gestational hypertensive disorders– long term health consequences
Consequences of GWG for Child
• Studies consistently show linear relationship between GWG and birthweight for gestational age.
• Some, but limited evidence for associations between GWG and:– Still birth– Preterm birth (at both low and high GWG)– Childhood asthma and low GWG– High GWG and some cancers and ADHD– High GWG and childhood obesity
Recent Studies on Impact of GWG on Offspring Obesity
Zilko et al. Am J Obset Gynecol, 2010
In NLSY: GWG associated with child overweight
Mamun et al. Circulation, 2009
In Australian cohort : Greater GWG associated with greater offspring BMI in early adulthood
Von Kries et al.
Int J Pediatr Obes, 2010
Large German cross-sectional study: higher than average GWG accounts for moderate increase in offspring overweight at ages 3-17
Beyerlein et al. PLoS One. 2012; 7(3): e33205
Combined data from 3 large German cohorts: In adjusted models, positive associations of total and excessive GWG with mean BMI SDS and overweight were observed only in children of non- overweight mothers
Determining Optimal Weight Gain
• “Evidence is remarkably clear that prepregnant BMI is an independent predictor of many adverse outcomes of pregnancy.”
• Limited data to link GWG to health outcomes of mothers and children after the neonatal period.
IOM States that full implementation of guidelines would mean:
• Preconceptual services offered to all overweight & obese women to help them reach a healthy weight before conceiving
• Offering services, such as counseling on diet and PA during pregnancy to all pregnant women.
• Offering services to all postpartum women
5 Action Recommendations
1. DHHS conduct routine surveillance of GWG and postpartum weight retention
2. All states adopt revised version of birth certificate that includes maternal pp weight, height, weight at delivery, gestational age at last measured weight (and strive for 100% completion of fields).
3. Fed/state/local agencies and health care providers inform women of importance of conceiving at a normal BMI
4. Agencies/organizations adopt new guidelines and publicize to members and women
5. Providers of prenatal care should offer counseling on dietary intake and PA that is tailored to life circumstances.
