dc.description.abstract	It has been the impression of the author while conducting antenatal examinations in various parts of East Africa that many women experience very little weight again compared with the recognised standards from the ‘western’ countries. Several publications have shown that the birth weights of African babies are generally lower than the birth weights of European babies. It would be a great help to be able to predict low birth weight babies in the ante-natal clinic as these babies are at greater risk. No study has yet been published concerning weight changes in pregnancy in East Africa and so the present study was undertaken to determine the weight gain and nutritional status in pregnancy and see if this could be related to the birth weight of the baby.	en_US
