Obesity has a major impact on the burden of disease in Canada and in many parts of the world. Despite widespread obesity prevention efforts, Canadian and global rates of overweight and obesity are burgeoning and obesity is notoriously difficult to treat. Even though it is now accepted that prenatal macro- and/or micro-nutrient undernutrition (i.e., insufficient caloric intake or micro-nutrient deficiencies despite ample calories) plays a critical role in the development of obesity and chronic diseases later in life, there is a paucity of research investigating the maternal experience of gaining less weight than medically recommended during pregnancy. Babies born to mothers with low gestational weight gain are at higher risk for undernourishment in utero and up to one-quarter of pregnant women in developed countries continue to undergain in pregnancy.

520 $a Obesity has a major impact on the burden of disease in Canada and in many parts of the world. Despite widespread obesity prevention efforts, Canadian and global rates of overweight and obesity are burgeoning and obesity is notoriously difficult to treat. Even though it is now accepted that prenatal macro- and/or micro-nutrient undernutrition (i.e., insufficient caloric intake or micro-nutrient deficiencies despite ample calories) plays a critical role in the development of obesity and chronic diseases later in life, there is a paucity of research investigating the maternal experience of gaining less weight than medically recommended during pregnancy. Babies born to mothers with low gestational weight gain are at higher risk for undernourishment in utero and up to one-quarter of pregnant women in developed countries continue to undergain in pregnancy.
520 $a In this Heideggarian interpretive phenomenological study, the meaning and experiences of weight gain for pregnant women with low gestational weight gain were explored. Data were collected through narrative sessions with 10 pregnant women from St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. Conroy's (2003) method of data collection and analysis was utilized.
520 $a A hermeneutical spiral of interpretation was used to identify six patterns or major themes: confronting one's mortality; defending oneself against a permanent metamorphosis into a stranger; playing with fire and brimstone; slipping under the radar; trying to find peace in the war between beauty ideals and the sanctity of motherhood; and riding an emotional roller coaster.
520 $a The participants in this study reported on a silent war that is being waged over pregnant bodies that has pitted women against women. The participants elucidated that weight gain means much more than a number on the scale. Pregnancy weight spoke to who they were as women, human beings and mothers. One's weight could open and close doors in different aspects of their lives. It influenced how they perceived themselves and how others perceived them. Pregnancy weight could mean a new life in that it could bring forth a child, but also it could conjure up new blessings or misfortunes for themselves. Implications of the findings for health policy, practice, education, and research are discussed.
