N2  - Over half of pregnant women gain more than the recommended weight in pregnancy with  overweight and obese women being more likely to exceed the recommendations put forth by the  American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and the Institute of Medicine  (IOM).  Overweight and obese pregnant women are at increased risk for multiple pregnancy  related complications including a higher rate of birth defects, spontaneous abortion, gestational  hypertension, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, fetal macrosomia, cesarean delivery, shoulder  dystocia, postpartum hemorrhage, wound infection and endometritis.  While many complex  factors are involved in obesity and weight gain in pregnancy, attitudes and perceptions regarding  body weight may have a strong correlation to nutritional habits, activity level and subsequently,  weight gain.  The purpose of this research project is to identify perceptions of psychological  factors that may have an effect on weight gain during pregnancy in obese women.
