In this observational prospective cohort study, Dr. Overcash and colleagues assessed gestational weight gain in obese women to determine whether weight gain at a certain point in pregnancy could identify women at risk for excessive gestational weight gain. This work was published in Maternal and Child Health (2015;19:2412-2418. doi: 10.1007/s10995-015-1760-8).
