Fetal growth was modelled using linear mixed regression. Data is presented as raw parameter estimates (β) and estimates are transformed to the original scale with respective 95% confidence intervals. Beta values represent the additive per allele effect of the GRS on change in daily proportional weight gain. All traits are measured by ultrasound during pregnancy at 20, 25 and 32 weeks. Birthweight was measured at birth.

Significant values are in bold.
