This study was carried out prospectively (longitudinal) to 55 pregnant women with normal body mass index in three locations: Dr Soetomo Hospital, Tambakrejo Community Health Center, and Maternity House "Sugiharti" Surabaya. BMI was measured at the first visit during the first trimester. All pregnant women were followed through natural pregnancy, and the bodyweight of the mother as well as the newborns were measured, and analyzed using multiple regression analysis. All newborns were delivered spontaneously, rear head first, in each location of study. The average birthweight was 3157.46 grams, no neonates was born with low birthweight. The increase of pregnant women's bodyweight was averagely 10.61 kg, and the lowest was 5.10 kg. In conclusion, there is correlation between birthweight and the increase of pregnant women bodyweight with normal BMI, according to cubic and quadratic model (p = 0.017 and p = 0.029). However, there was no significant correlation according to linear method (p = 0.086) from those variables.
