Moderate physical activity is important during pregnancy. However, this concept is new in India. This study reported the effect of an exercise intervention on weight changes and delivery outcomes in pregnant Indian women. 60 pregnant women in two groups underwent a pregnancy intervention between 20 weeks of gestation till delivery. Group 1 attended a supervised prenatal weekly exercise session with diet advise & walking for 30 min/day from 20 weeks of gestation till delivery. Group 2 received regular prenatal care at the hospital with general advice on physical activity during pregnancy. Outcome variables-body weight, body mass index (BMI), waist & hip circumference, gestational weight gain (GWG), post-partum weight retention (PPWR) and 2 delivery outcomes, i.e. mode of delivery and prolonged labour. The readings were taken at baseline, at delivery and at 2 months post-delivery. Intervention group retained less PPWR than the control at 2 months post-delivery. Similar results were found for various obesity parameters, waist (5.60±4.96 and 9.46±4.64, P=0.003) and hip (4.33±4.25 and 7.70±7.46, P=0.036) circumference and BMI at 2 months post-partum (2.41±1.65 and 4.28±3.75, P=0.015). Incidence of caesarean section and prolonged labour was less in intervention group too (P=0.012). The pregnancy lifestyle intervention significantly reduced weight retention, obesity parameters, and reduced pregnancy complications, in Indian women.
