It was found that inadequate GWG and weight loss were linked with heightened risks among different BMI categories. However, the impact was the least among obese women. This states that extreme GWG ranges increase the risks of morbidity and mortality for infants. The study thereby states that weight maintenance or weight loss should not be used as routine guidelines.

Gestational Diabetes May Increase Risk of Cardiac Problems
Women with a history of diabetes during pregnancy twice as likely by mid-life to develop calcium in heart arteries - a strong predictor of heart disease.
