Abstract

Objective: To investigate the effects of body mass management during pregnancy on adverse pregnancy outcomes, duration of labor, and neonatal birth weight. Methods: 472 pregnant women who visited Beijing Anzhen Hospital from January to December 2023 were selected, and the pregnant women were divided into 236 each in the observation group and the control group. Body mass of pregnant women was measured and BMI was calculated in early and late pregnancy respectively, and the pregnant women in the control group were guided by routine management, while the observation group was guided by body mass management during pregnancy. The growth of maternal body mass, mode of delivery, postpartum hemorrhage, neonatal score, neonatal blood glucose at birth, and umbilical artery blood, as well as the comparison of the duration of labor, were observed. Results: The observation group was significantly better than the control group in terms of mode of delivery, postpartum hemorrhage, and body mass growth, with statistically significant differences (P < 0.05), and there was no statistical significance in terms of neonatal scores, neonatal blood glucose at birth, and umbilical artery blood (P > 0.05); the time of the first stage of labor and the time of the second stage of labor of the mothers in the observation group was significantly better than that of the control group, with statistical differences (P < 0.05), and the time of the third stage of labor of the mothers in the observation group was statistically better than that of the control group. There was no statistically significant difference between the time of the third stage of labor in the observation group and the control group (P > 0.05), and the time of the total stage of labor in the observation group was statistically better than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Body mass management during pregnancy can effectively improve maternal control of weight gain, reduce labor time, and decrease the occurrence of adverse pregnancy outcomes.
