Impact of Low Maternal Weight on Pregnancy and Neonatal Outcomes
Underweight BMI during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of small for gestational age and low birth weight infants and a decreased risk of premature rupture of membranes and postpartum hemorrhage. These findings suggest underweight BMI during pregnancy increases the risk of adverse neonatal outcomes, while maternal-related pregnancy outcomes are less affected.
