Maternal obesity increased between the first and second pregnancy, with one-fifth of nulliparas in the overweight category developing obesity. Pregnancy-related factors were identified as predictors of developing obesity. Further research is needed to assess whether interventions targeting these related factors could optimize maternal weight management between pregnancies.
