ABSTRACT
Background: A low weight for height of pregnant women at the start of pregnancy has a negative impact of fetal growth. Aim: To report the design of a weight gain chart for pregnant women that allows to classyfy mothers according to their nutritional status and to monitor weight gain during gestation. Material and methods: Data from 1745 Chilean mothers who delivered their newborns in 1983 and 1984 were used to build this chart. Results: The instrument could diagnose, from gestational week 10 onwards, mothers at risk of delivering babies with birth weight under 3000 g and set weight gain goals for each individual mother based on ber nutritional status. Similarly, mothers at risk of delivering babies with birth weight over 3999 g could be early diagnosed during pregnancy and guided to have a prudent weight gain. Conclusions: The chart can be easily used in prenatal clinics of developing countries and is currently applied in several Latin American countries
