Postpartum glycosylated hemoglobin levels in mothers of large--for--gestational age infants.
Glycosylated hemoglobin levels were determined in 19 women who were delivered of large--for--gestational age (greater than 4,082 grams) infants and compared to control values. Although the mean level for each group did not differ significantly (6.7% +/- 1.5% versus 6.5% +/- 0.2%) three women had increased hemoglobin glycosylation. In this series the birth of a large infant correlated with prepregnancy obesity and greater weight gain during pregnancy.
