The role of pre-pregnancy overweight in gestational diabetes, hypertension, and macrosomia: a retrospective study

These findings underscore the importance of integrating BMI monitoring and personalized weight management strategies into pre-pregnancy care programs to mitigate risks and improve maternal and neonatal health outcomes.
