Eligible studies were quantitative in design and examined maternal body image attitudes before or during pregnancy in relation to GWG, maternal outcomes, neonatal outcomes, or breastfeeding practices. Two reviewers independently screened studies and assessed methodological quality using Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI)\u00a0tools, resolving discrepancies through consensus. Data extraction was performed by one reviewer and cross\u2010checked by a second; findings were narratively synthesized and summarized in tables.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of the 2524 studies identified, 19 met the inclusion criteria. Among the 15 studies assessing GWG, 10 reported significant associations between negative body image and higher or excessive GWG. Three studies linked body image concerns with antenatal or postpartum depressive symptoms, while two studies examined postpartum weight retention, yielding mixed findings. Only one study investigated neonatal outcomes, identifying an association between negative body image constructs and increased risk of small\u2010for\u2010gestational\u2010age newborns. Two studies explored breastfeeding outcomes, showing that positive body image was associated with breastfeeding initiation and continuation, whereas negative body image was linked to formula use and early cessation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Maternal body image concerns assessed before or during pregnancy were frequently associated with higher or excessive GWG.
