Obesity continues to be a global concern of pandemic proportions. Excessive gestational weight gain (GWG) increases the risk of women becoming overweight or obese. Despite current strategies, 50% of women gain above the guidelines for GWG. This increases the risk of conditions such as gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), pre-eclampsia and birth complications. Long term, excessive GWG also increases the risk of overweight and obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease for both mother and infant.

Obesity continues to be a global concern of pandemic proportions. Excessive gestational weight gain (GWG) increases the risk of women becoming overweight or obese. Despite current strategies, 50% of women gain above the guidelines for GWG. This increases the risk of conditions such as gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), pre-eclampsia and birth complications. Long term, excessive GWG also increases the risk of overweight and obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease for both mother and infant. In the non-pregnant population, short sleep and disturbed sleep are associated with various chronic diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease. Sleep disturbance in pregnancy is common, regardless of whether sleep disturbance was present pre-conception. Despite strong relationships shown in the non-pregnant population, the relationship between sleep during pregnancy and outcomes such as GWG, glucose tolerance and dietary intake is unknown. The overall aim of this Book was to investigate the impact of sleep during pregnancy on GWG, glucose tolerance and maternal diet. Part A of this Book systematically reviewed available literature for interventions designed to reduce GWG. The aim was to evaluate the efficacy of intervention to reduce the risk of GDM and infant birth anthropometrics. The resultant literature had two behavioural intervention targets; diet and/or physical activity. This confirmed that modifying sleeping behaviour was a novel intervention target. Furthermore, dietary interventions were the most effective at reducing the risk of GDM and infant birthweight. Interventions in women who were overweight or obese preconception were not effective at reducing the risk of GDM.
