Optimizing Health
Abstract
Pregnancy complications provide insight into women's future health risks and have long term implications for maternal and child health. Obesity has been associated with adverse perinatal outcomes and is a risk factor for chronic disease. Excessive weight gain during pregnancy often translates into postpartum weight retention, increasing women's risk for obesity. Pregnancy and the postpartum period provides a unique opportunity to discuss health beyond pregnancy, emphasize interconception care, and implement appropriate prevention strategies. We aim to review the impact of obesity, gestational weight gain, postpartum weight retention, and role of nutrition and exercise on pregnancy and lifelong health.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
