In normal and overweight women, the risks of caesarean delivery, induction of labour, and postpartum haemorrhage increased with gestational weight gain. In obese women, higher gestational weight gain increased risks of caesarean delivery and induction of labour. Low gestational weight gain reduced risk of caesarean delivery in all BMI groups except underweight.
