Overall, the results indicate that women with pBMI obesity are not meeting minimum dietary guidelines for nutrient intakes during pregnancy, specifically fruits, vegetables, and fiber, regardless of GWG. Interventions for African-American women with pre-pregnancy obesity, with a focus on increasing consumption of fruits and vegetables, would be beneficial to control GWG and improve birth outcomes.
