Woman pregnant with twins b. Woman in early adolescence c. Woman shorter than 62 inches or 157 cm d. Woman who was obese before pregnancy ANS: D The recommended weight gain for overweight or obese women is 11 to 20 pounds. This will provide sufficient nutrients for the fetus. Overweight and obese women should be advised to lose weight prior to conception in order to achieve the best pregnancy outcomes. A higher weight gain in twin gestations may help prevent low birth weights. Adolescents need to gain weight toward the higher acceptable range, which will provide for their own growth as well as for fetal growth. In the past women of short stature were advised to restrict their weight gain; however, evidence to support these guidelines has not been found.
