We know that an excessive neonatal weight is often associated with obesity in adulthood and can imply an increase in mortality related to excessive body weight. Previous trials have analyzed the relation between weight gain in pregnant women and the newborn’s weight. In order to remedy this lack, some US researchers have examined a database including about 513,000 women – each with at least two children – to calculate the difference between maternal and neonatal weight gain in the two consecutive pregnancies for each woman.

A new guideline from NICE on antenatal care for twin and triplet pregnancies says women with a multiple pregnancy should receive specialist care from an experienced multidisciplinary team to avoid higher than necessary rates of assisted birth and caesarean section, and ensure they receive appropriate neonatal risk assessment before birth. These women also need more monitoring and more frequent antenatal visits due to the higher risks which can be associated with multiple pregnancies.
