Three women are now entering their third trimester of pregnancy. They’ve kept in contact the entire time, occasionally comparing their pregnancy experiences. Inevitably, the topic of weight gain comes up. All women are 5’4". Olynda began her pregnancy underweight at 100 pounds and has gained 30 pounds so far. Lynn began her pregnancy at 170 pounds and has maintained the 10-pound weight loss from her first trimester. She continues to weigh 160 pounds and her baby’s growth and development on track. Nadia was the only woman to begin her pregnancy journey at a healthy weight of 120 pounds and has gained 55 pounds.

She is also at greater risk for preterm delivery or a need for a C-section delivery. a. True
