11-Year Trends in Pregnancy-Related Health Indicators in Maine, 2000–2010

Figure 2

Gestational weight gain for women giving birth in Maine by year. The fraction of women gaining less than the recommended amount of weight increased while the fraction gaining an amount of weight that was within the recommended range or above that range remained unchanged. Healthy People 2020 objectives include an increase in the proportion of women who achieved recommended levels of weight gain during pregnancy (numerical goal under development). Maine is not moving toward this goal.
