Lifestyles and Weight Control During Pregnancy
Short Communication
One of the main tools that midwives have had over the years has been their educational ability. The usefulness of a good health education has been more than demonstrated in the available literature [1]. It could be said that it is a resource at the service of the population and that it can modify lifestyles if it is used properly [2]. An important reason to think about the need to introduce weight control guidelines during pregnancy is that being overweight during pregnancy is a potentially modifiable risk, the work of [3]. examined the efficacy of a behavioral weight control intervention in pregnant women of about 13 weeks who were provided information about healthy nutrition and physical exercise, their results revealed that weight gain during pregnancy was decreased and postpartum weight [3]. Due to this, it seems to be advisable, as indicated by the work of [4]. to assess the weight of women at each gestational control visit, since pregnancy is a time of great receptivity on the part of users to modify health behaviors in general and related to inappropriate weight gain in particular. Although their conclusions register less favorable results in women who were obese or overweight prior to pregnancy [5]. There are other authors who show the need to promote good habits both nutritional and physical activity from the stages prior to pregnancy, that is, in women of reproductive age [6]. since the Obesity and excess weight prior to pregnancy are associated with the same adverse effects as weight gain during pregnancy. The promotion of physical exercise and the consumption of fruits and vegetables seemed to have the potential to reduce obesity rates, while bad habits, such as the consumption of sweets, were associated with an increase in body mass indexes ( BMI).
