Abstract:
With the aim of creating a norm curve of maternal weight gain during pregnancy, data from 1763063 women between 1995 and 1997 were analyzed. The weight gain ranged from - 2 kg to + 24 kg, the mean value was calculated as 13 kg. With these results it was possible to create percentiles of maternal weight gain in Germany for the first time.
