Preventing Excessive Gestational Weight Gain During Consecutive Pregnancies
Excessive gestational weight gain (EGWG) poses significant health risks, including increased pregnancy complications, obesity, and metabolic disorders. Addressing EGWG is critical for women with a history of EGWG, as recurrence is common in consecutive pregnancies. This study presents findings from a subanalysis of the intervention arm of the INTER-ACT multi-center randomied controlled trial (RCT), which evaluated the impact of a combined mobile …
Dietary intake, physical activity and sedentary behavior and association with BMI during the transition to parenthood
Introduction: Little is known on how diet, physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) changes during pregnancy and after childbirth in primiparous couples. Moreover, it is unclear how potential behavioral changes are associated with changes in BMI. This study examined changes in diet, PA and SB, and their association with changes in BMI in couples transitioning to parenthood. Methods: Dietary intake (FFQ), PA, SB (both Actigraph GT3X acce…
Association between perceived partner support and lifestyle in mother-father dyads expecting a first child
Background A healthy lifestyle during pregnancy is important for the health of mother and child. However, unfavorable physical activity (PA) and dietary changes are observed in pregnant women and their partner. Partner's influence on lifestyle has been reported by expectant women and men. The first aim was to analyze associations between perceived partner support on expectant parents own as well as their partner's moderate-to-vigorous intensity P…
Determinants of Changes in Women’s and Men’s Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior across the Transition to Parenthood
Focus should be given to interventions aimed at improving parents' self-regulation skills and support on how to cope with interpersonal and situational constraints as well as parenthood perceptions
Evolution of Postpartum Weight and Body Composition after Excessive Gestational Weight Gain
Women with excessive gestational weight gain are at increased risk of postpartum weight retention and potentially also unfavorable body composition. Insight into the lifestyle behaviors that play a role in the evolution of postpartum weight and body composition among these women could aid identification of those at highest risk of long-term adverse outcomes. This secondary analysis of the INTER-ACT randomized controlled trial investigates control…
Misreporting of Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior in Parents-to-Be
This study validated the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and the Context-specific Sedentary Behavior Questionnaire (CSBQ) against accelerometry among parents-to-be. Sex-differences in potential misreporting of physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) were also investigated. Self-reported total PA (TPA), light-intensity PA (LPA), moderate-intensity PA (MPA), vigorous-intensity PA (VPA), moderate-to-vigorous-intensity…
Phase Angle and Bio-Impedance Values during the First Year after Delivery in Women with Previous Excessive Gestational Weight Gain
Phase angle (PhA) is a body composition parameter that measures changes in the amount and quality of soft tissue. Few studies have explored PhA in pregnancy or postpartum. The aim of this study was to explore the PhA during the first year postpartum in a Belgian cohort using data from the control group of the INTER-ACT study, an intervention trial targeting those with excess gestational weight gain. A secondary aim was to examine associations bet…
A comparison of exclusive breastfeeding in Belgian maternity facilities with and without Baby‐friendly Hospital status
A retrospective cross-sectional study was carried out in Wallonia (the southern region of Belgium) in which a 20-question breastfeeding (BF) module was included in an immunization survey. The purpose of this paper is to compare exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) prevalences and BF practices for mothers giving birth in Baby-friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) and non-BFHI maternity facilities. A total of 557 mothers responded to BF questions when their…
Body weight, body composition and energy balance related behaviour during the transition to parenthood
Clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT03454958. Registered March 2018
Association of Gestational Weight Gain With Maternal and Infant Outcomes
IMPORTANCE: Body mass index (BMI) and gestational weight gain are increasing globally. In 2009, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) provided specific recommendations regarding the ideal gestational weight gain. However, the association between gestational weight gain consistent with theIOM guidelines and pregnancy outcomes is unclear. OBJECTIVE: To perform a systematic review, meta-analysis, and metaregression to evaluate associations between gestati…
The effect of pre-pregnancy BMI on intention, initiation and duration of breast-feeding
Objective To determine whether pre-pregnancy BMI influences breast-feeding practice. Design Retrospective epidemiological study. Setting University Hospital Leuven, Catholic University Leuven, Belgium. Subjects Two hundred women (median age 29 years, interquartile range (IQR) 4; 52 % nulliparae) were grouped into four categories according to pre-pregnancy BMI using WHO cut-offs. Results The incidence of intention and initiation of breast-feeding …
