This research is a descriptive and analytic study which was carried out to investigate the Fasting Blood Sugar of first trimester and 24-28 weeks , and 50-gram Glucose Challenge Test at 24-28 weeks of gestational age in non-diabetic pregnant women and their effect on the infants' weight in Shariati Hospital in Tehran .
The means of the Fasting Blood Sugar for the first trimester , 24-28 weaks and Glucose Challenge Test were 81.15 , 80.8 and 111.75 miligrams per deciliter respectively . The means of the infants' weight was 3203.5 grams .
There was a significant relationship between the mother's age , parity , prepregnancy weight and Body Mass Index , the height , weight gain during pregnancy and the infants' sex and gestational age , and the infants' weight .
Moreover , there was a direct relationship between the Fasting Blood Sugar of the first trimester and 24-28 weeks, and the infants' weight . Furdermore , the effect of mother's Fasting Blood Suger on the infants' weight was irrelevant to mother,s Body Mass Index . It should be mentioned that the positive correlation was higher regarding the Fasting Blood Sugar of the first trimeser . By Regression Line , the equation line and infants' weight based on mother's Fasting Blood Sugar were obtained .
Therefore , the Glucose Chaiienge Test cannot be used to predict the infants' weight . whereas , due to the mother's Fasting Blood Sugar , the infants being possiblly over or under weight , can be identified .
