The purpose of this study is, first, to collect what have been several important maternal/fetal morbidities in our term pregnancies during this 19-year clinical experience: rates of cesarean section, term preeclampsia, gestational diabetes mellitus in women, rates of SGA, LGA, macrosomia (≥ 4kg), low birthweights (< 2500g) and transfers in the neonatal department of newborns. Second, to make a simulation of what would have happened in women with optGWG (optimal weight gain ± 2kg) and those with moderately insufficient or excessive GWG (± 3-9kg as compared with optGWG) or severely insufficient or excessive GWG (± 10kg as compared with optGWG).
