STUDY OBJECTIVES: This study examines the accuracy of recalled gestational weight gain and maximum weight gain during pregnancy and evaluates which factors have an impact on those estimates.DESIGN: Cross-sectional survey.SETTING: Adolescent pregnancy clinic in an urban hospital.SUBJECTS: Forty postpartum adolescents were recruited. Half the subjects were evaluated within 6 months postpartum, and half were seen over the next 9 months.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Months postpartum, intrapartum weight gain documented in chart, maximum weight documented in chart, recalled intrapartum weight gain, recalled maximum weight; differences between chart-documented and recalled weight gain and maximum weight.RESULTS: Self-documented and documented weight gain and maximum intrapartum weights were highly correlated (Pearson r = .99), although those at highest weight tended to underestimate their weight gain and maximum weight.CONCLUSIONS: Adolescents are able to reliably recall weight gain and maximum weight during pregnancy.
