Weight Gain in Pregnancy: An Evidence-Based Analysis

$75.00

Webinar Details

We’ve all seen the cookie cutter “pregnancy weight gain” charts put out by organizations such as the Institute of Medicine, but are these guidelines helpful, accurate, and do they follow the most current evidence? Should we adjust these ranges? Should we abandon weight gain recommendations altogether? Should weight be discussed with all pregnant clients or only select clients? The answers to these questions are surprisingly complex. 

In this webinar, you’ll learn:

  • The physiological function of weight change during pregnancy
  • Overview of weight gain recommendations and data that questions their ranges (for singleton, twin, and triplet pregnancies)
  • Data on pregnancy outcomes relative to gestational weight gain
  • Eating disorders during pregnancy
  • Use of prenatal weight gain grids and other methods for assessing gestational weight gain
  • Top 3 ways to support healthy pregnancy weight gain
  • Counseling tips for when, how, and if discussing weight gain is appropriate with a client
  • Case studies

 

Length: 90 minutes
