Excessive GWG was associated with intrapartum oxytocin administration, regardless of parity or prepregnancy BMI, and cesarean section among women with under/normal weight prepregnancy BMI, providing evidence for benefits of healthy GWG for normal labor progression. Additional research is needed to verify our findings and understand differences by BMI.
