Introduction: The study aims to investigate the prevalence rate and the time trend of excess weight in pregnant women receiving Primary Health Care in Macaé, between 2010 and 2018. Method: A quantitative, time series study was conducted with the open access database of the Food and Nutritional Surveillance System (Sisvan WEB), relative to the nutritional diagnosis of pregnant women> 20 years old, receiving Primary Health Care in the city of Macaé, between 2010 and 2018. Analyses were made of 4,279 records of pregnant women over a nine-year period. The study variables were: year of data collection and registration; low weight; adequate weight; overweight; obesity; excess weight (overweight and obesity). Trend analysis of excess weight was performed using simple linear regression models, considering the significance level of 5%. Results: Prevalence of overweight in pregnant women was high and rising: 2010 (40.2%), 2011 (37.5%), 2012 (46.8%), 2013 (48.8%), 2014 (50.9%), 2015 (51.8%), 2016 (54.4%), 2017 (57.6%) and 2018 (55.8%). All analyses showed a significant and growing trend, especially for the excess weight outcome, whose annual increase speed (£ 1 = 2.35; p-value <0.001) was higher than the other outcomes, when analyzed separately. Conclusion: Prevalence of excess weight in pregnant women receiving Primary Health Care in the city of Macaé was high and growing during the study period.
