Although gestational diabetes might be more common in twin versus singleton pregnancies, reasons for this are unclear. We evaluated the extent to which the relationship is explained by higher mid-pregnancy weight gain within normal weight and overweight pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) strata. We analyzed serial weights and glucose screening and diagnostic data abstracted from medical charts for twin (n=1397) and singleton (n=3117) pregnancies with normal or overweight pre-pregnancy BMI delivered from 1998–2013 at Magee Women’s Hospital in Pennsylvania. We used causal mediation analyses to estimate the total effect of twin versus singleton pregnancy on gestational diabetes, as well as those mediated (natural indirect effect) and not mediated (natural and controlled direct effects) by pathways involving mid-pregnancy weight gain. Odds of gestational diabetes were higher among twin pregnancies [odds ratios (ORs) for total effect=2.83 (95% CI 1.54; 5.19) for normal weight and 2.09 (95% CI 1.16; 3.75) for overweight pre- pregnancy BMI], yet there was limited evidence that this relationship was mediated by weight gain [ORs for natural indirect effect=1.21 (95% CI 0.95; 1.54) for normal weight and 1.06 (95% CI 0.92; 1.21) for overweight pre-pregnancy BMI], and more evidence of mediation via other pathways [ORs for natural direct effect=2.34 (95% CI 1.24; 4.40) for normal weight and 1.97 (95% CI 1.08; 3.60) for overweight pre-pregnancy BMI]. While twin pregnancies with normal weight or overweight pre-pregnancy BMI experience higher odds of gestational diabetes versus singletons, most of this effect is explained by pathways not involving mid-pregnancy weight gain.
