Pregnancy weight gains of 6.7-11.2 kg (15-25 lb) in overweight and obese women, and less than 6.7 kg (15 lb) in morbidly obese women are associated with a reduction in the risk of adverse outcome.

Suprapubic or urethral catheter: what is the optimal method of bladder drainage after radical hysterectomy?
Lower urinary tract dysfunction is a common morbidity related to radical hysterectomy (RAH). Although transurethral catheterization (TUC) has traditionally been used for postoperative bladder drainage following RAH, suprapubic catheterization (SPC) is an alternative method that may be advantageous. ⋯ After RAH for early stage cervical cancer, suprapubic catheterization is associated with a lower rate of UTI and an earlier trial of voiding than transurethral catheterization.
