The original review, which was published in 2012, found inconclusive evidence that diet and exercise programmes had a positive effect on pregnant women and their babies. However, the latest review – which has been published in The Cochrane Library – took into account new evidence from a number of studies between October 2011 and November 2014.
The findings, now based on data from 11,444 women, found that 36% of women allocated interventions to help them manage their weight had excessive weight gain during their pregnancy. This compares to around 45% of women in the control groups.
The interventions were all found to lead to similar reductions in the number of women gaining excessive weight, and involved either low sugar diets, exercise only, or a combination of diet and exercise. The exercise interventions consisted mainly of moderate intensity and involved both individual and group activities like aerobics, pilates and walking.
In addition, of the women who received an intervention, they were also less likely to have high blood pressure.
