approximately, 50% of them are either overweight [body mass index (BMI)
25-29.9 kg/m(2)] or obese (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m(2)).
Obese pregnant women are at higher risk to develop Gestational
diabetes mellitus (GDM). According to the study by the Case Western

Participants underwent a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) between

ratio for birth weight >90th percentile for GDM alone was 2.19
(1.93-2.47), for obesity alone 1.73 (1.50-2.00), and for both GDM and obesity 3.62 (3.04-4.32).
