The findings, which have been published in The Lancet, said that women who gained weight after their first pregnancy increased their risk of stillbirth by between 30% and 50%, while the likelihood of infant death increased by up to 60%.
The research involved a Swedish population-based cohort of women who gave birth to their first and second child between 1 January 1992 and 31 December 2012. Complete information was available for 456,711 women.
The team looked at links between change in maternal body mass index during early pregnancy from first to second pregnancies, and risks of stillbirth and neonatal, post-neonatal and infant mortality after the second pregnancy.
The weight gain was also found to have affected all women, not just those who were classes as overweight when they fell pregnant with their first child.
Commenting on the findings, Louise Silverton, Director for Midwifery, Royal College of Midwives, said: "Midwives need time with women during postnatal care to provide these messages. We also know that they are best received where the midwife has already formed a relationship with the women and that continuity of carer improves outcomes."
