Weight loss during pregnancy is associated with increased risk of small for gestational age among all obesity classes, but not other adverse perinatal outcomes, and may reduce risk of Caesarean delivery. Low weight gain and weight stability are not associated with risk of adverse outcomes among those with class III obesity. GWG guidelines may need to vary by obesity class.
