Abstract
Recently recommendations for weight gain during pregnancy have been liberalized. One hundred ninety-five pregnant patients (96 private, 99 clinic) were asked to complete a questionaire designed to elicit their attitudes about weight gain during pregnancy. “No response” is not listed below, therefore totals may be <100%.
The results of this ouestionaire seem to indicate that many women and/or their doctors are still ignorant of current concepts of proper nutrition during pregnancy. the medical profession will need to place increased emphasis on education in this area.
