Question

women who do not gain the minimum recommended weight

women who gain above the recommended weight

women who have had other children

women between 20 and 30

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

women who do not gain the minimum recommended weight

Low birth weight can be associated with inadequate maternal weight gain during pregnancy. Other factors such as maternal health, lifestyle, and age also play a role, but the specific option that directly addresses the risk of low birth weight is the insufficient weight gain.
