Answer:

A. 205

Explanation:

205 because Underweight women who become pregnant are at a higher risk for delivery of low birth weight (LBW) infants, fetal growth, and

perinatal mortality. Pre Pregnancy underweight is also associated with

a higher incidence of various pregnancy complications, such as

antepartum hemorrhage, premature rupture of membranes, anemia,

endometriosis, and cesarean delivery.

The goal in prenatal nutritional counseling provided by WIC is to

achieve recommended weight gain by emphasizing food choices of

high nutritional quality; and for the underweight woman, by

encouraging increased consumption and/or the inclusion of some

calorically dense foods.
