Here is a description of this work: Bac,,ground: Self-reported pre-pregnancy weight and weight measured in the first trimester are both used to estimate pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and gestational weight gain (GWG) but there is limited information on how they compare, especially in low, and middle-income countries, where access to a weight scale can be limited.
