Resumen

Objective: The present study aimed to measure gestational weight gain (GWG) and to identify the associated factors in pregnant and newborns. Methods: This is an observational cross-sectional epidemiological study in a cohort of pregnant and newborn users of Basic Care in Caxias do Sul / RS. The data were collected in three different moments, being in the first and third gestational trimester and in the first month after the baby's birth. Results: The sample consisted of 47 pregnant and newborns, of whom 28.3% had insufficient GWG, 34.8% had adequate GWG and 37% had excessive GWG. Pregnant women with schooling up to 10 years of schooling presented a higher prevalence of insufficient GWG (48.0%), while those with 11 years or more of study had a higher prevalence of adequate GWG (52.4%) (p = 0.024). Also, a significant association with length at birth (p-value 0.035) and feeding during the first week of life (p-value 0.037) was observed. Conclusions: It is concluded that pregnant women have a high prevalence of excessive GWG. Also, a significant association was identified between the poor GWG with the low level of education of the pregnant woman and the shorter length at birth. There was an association between excessive GWG and high prevalence for SMA in the first week of life. Thus, the need for strategies to adjust and guide GWG, as well as to instruct healthy life habits and to reinforce the need of prenatal care for the health of the pregnant woman and the newborn, is perceived.
