Weight gain during pregnancy in women with gestational diabetes: How little is too little?

We evaluated maternal weight gain in women with gestational diabetes, and assessed their compliance with the Institute of Medicine (IOM) weight gain targets. Only 28% of women achieved the IOM targets, with 40% gaining inadequate weight. Those who gained inadequate weight did not suffer any increase in adverse pregnancy outcomes.
