The age they presented was from 16 to 44 years, in those who began their pregnancy with normal weight prevailed insufficient gain in 43.5%, in those overweight, adequate gain in 42.6%, in obese, excessive gain in 64.7% and the low weight group in equal percentage for insufficient and excess gain. When the correlation between the two variables was carried out, a value of p=0.490 was obtained.
