Results of logistic regression comparing race and primary maternal outcomes, unadjusted and adjusted odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI).

GWG, gestational weight gain.

Reference category is GWG within IOM recommendations; Reference category for Race is ‘White women’ Model adjusted for maternal age, baseline BMI, marital status (married vs. no married), income (<$20,000 vs. ≥$20,000), Government insurance (yes vs. no), employed (ever vs. never), Total Average Weekly Energy Expenditure (METs), and average daily calorie intake (kcals), and maternal composite morbidity.

Generalized logit model; Reference category is GWG within IOM recommendations; Model adjusted for maternal age, baseline BMI, marital status (married vs. no married), income (<$20,000 vs. ≥$20,000), employed (ever vs. never), Total Average Weekly Energy Expenditure (METs), and average daily calorie intake (kcals), and maternal composite morbidity.

Model adjusted for maternal age, baseline BMI, marital status (married vs. no married), income (<$20,000 vs. ≥$20,000), Government insurance (yes vs. no), employed (ever vs. never), Total Average Weekly Energy Expenditure (METs), and average daily calorie intake (kcals).

Maternal composite morbidity- presence of at least one comorbid condition including c-section delivery, pre-eclampsia, gestational hypertension, gestational diabetes, shoulder dystocia, pregnancy insulin resistance.
