The aim of the study is to study the effects of pregnancy body mass index (VMI) and weight gain during pregnancy on the birth form, the demographic characteristics of the baby and the rate of hospitalization. In the four-month period, women over the 36th week of pregnancy and single-born were included in the study. Pregnancies were grouped as ‘weak’ (18.5 kg/m2 below), ‘normal’ (18.5-24.9 kg/m2), ‘overweight’ (25-29.9 kg/m2) and ‘obese’ (30 kg/m2 and above). The demographic characteristics of pregnancies, pre-gravity VKI, weight gain during pregnancy, birth form, demographic characteristics of the baby and the rate of hospitalization were assessed. Results: According to Pregnancy VKI, 7% of the 177 data taken to study (n=12) were ‘weak’, 72% (n=128) ‘normal’, 15% (n=27) ‘excess weight’ and 6% (n=10) ‘obesity’. Between the groups, pregnancy ages were different (p=0.001), the frequency of antenatal problems (gestational diabetes and hypertension) was similar (p=0.39). Most of the pregnancies in the groups were high school or university graduates. Between groups the weight gain during pregnancy was different (p=0.009), the variation rates in the VKI were similar (p=0.2). According to Pregnancy VKI, the birth form and demographic characteristics of infants between groups were similar (p>0.05), the infants' hospitalization rate was different (p=0.032), the infants' hospitalization rate from pregnancies in the 'overweight' group was high (30%). During pregnancy, the changes in the VKI did not affect the demographic characteristics of the baby and the hospitalization rate, but in pregnancies with high and very high levels of VKI increases, the rate of cesarine was higher (p=0.015). The result: Pregnancy VKI and during pregnancy VKI changes have been found to affect the form of birth and the rate of hospitalization of the baby. Planned start of pregnancy with proper body weight, balanced weight gain during pregnancy, is important for the mother and newborn’s health.
