delight is two weeks away from her due date. average - weight, she gained 32 pounds over the course of her pregnancy. comparing to women who gain 40 pounds or more than 40 pounds, delight is less likely to:
□ suffer from postpartum depression
□ have birth complications
□ give birth to a baby with a chromosomal abnormality
□ give birth to a baby with high or low birth weight

Explanation:

Delight had a pregnancy within standard parameters: she delivered close to her due date, and her weight gain (32 pounds) is within the recommended range, while the comparison group has extreme, unhealthy weight gain (too little or over 40 pounds). Extreme gestational weight gain is linked to higher risks of birth complications, abnormal birth weights, and postpartum issues, so Delight (with normal weight gain/timing) is less likely to face these. Chromosomal abnormalities are not strongly linked to maternal weight gain in this context.

Answer:

□ suffer from postpartum depression
□ have birth complications
□ give birth to a baby with high or low birth weight
