Summary/Abstract: The aim of the pilot research is to evaluate BMI of selected gravid probands. The researchers examined some correlations between pre-pregnant BMI and some other factors before, at the beginnings, and at the end of gravidity. The investigation used the standardized questionnaire of IPAQ supported with some demographic issues aimed to anthropological parameters and a life-style of the probands. The data was gathered in January 2014 at Jihlava Hospital Emergency Gynaecology Assessment Unit. 37 probands were included. The results display that during the period of gravidity no statistically significant changes in pre-pregnant BMI were found.
