title: [Correlation between certain parameters in pregnancy and body weight and the vitality of the neonate].
abstract: An analysis of 2280 puerperas who delivered newborns with the birth weight of 2500 g up to over 4000 g in the first half of 1989 at the Clinic for Obstetrics and Gynecology in Sarajevo had been conducted. Age, parity, body weight increase during pregnancy, and their socio-economic status was investigated. All newborns were divided into several groups according to birth weight: 2500-3000 g, 3000-3500 g, 3500-4000 g and over 4000 g. Puerperas with hypertension before pregnancy, EPH gestosis, anaemia and pyelonephritis were excluded. It has been found that newborns with birth weight between 3000-3500 g, the most desirable weight, were delivered by mothers who had a body weight increase of about 12.6 kg during pregnancy. Their average age was 25 years among primiparas, and 27 among multiparas; they were high-school graduates. American authors consider a weight increase of 8 kg during pregnancy as the most ideal for a good outcome. Vitality of newborns measured by the Apgar score was satisfying, with minor deviations in the group with birth weight over 4000 g.
