Our objective was to evaluate changes in serum leptin levels during pregnancy in overweight/obese and nonobese women and to assess total and percent weight gain during pregnancy as possible factors that influence leptin levels. In a prospective study of 42 low-risk pregnant women receiving prenatal care, we assessed serum leptin levels at gestational weeks 9–12, 25–28, and 34–37. Based on their pre-pregnancy body mass indices (BMIs), the cohort was divided into: non-overweight (BMI
