Obesity during pregnancy is a serious health problem for women.
Our results can predict accurately the body proportions of pregnant and postpartum women. The accuracy of the simulation was tested on 75 pregnant and 74 postpartum volunteers in terms of relationships between statistical calculation, simulated 3D models and actual tape measurement of chest, waist, hip, and inseam. Additionally, a satisfaction test on the application was conducted on new 149 mothers. To evaluate the results, precision tests were performed on simulated 3D pregnant and postpartum women’s shapes. This study allows users to simulate their 3D body shapes in real-time and online, based on weight, height, and gestational age, using multiple linear regression and morphing techniques. Body changes data from 98 pregnant and 83 postpartum women were collected, tracked for six months, and analyzed to create 3D model shapes. Our objectives are to develop a technique that can compute and visualize 3D body shapes of women during pregnancy and postpartum in various gestational ages, BMI, and postpartum durations. It is important to control the BMI before, during and after pregnancy.
Several studies have reported that pre-pregnant women’s body mass index (BMI) affects women’s weight gain with complications during pregnancy and the postpartum weight retention.
