Notes:
a
Due to an error in the questionnaire at 12 months, 183 women who were not currently pregnant but had previously been pregnant did not complete the LMUP.
b
163 observations are missing for parity at last pregnancy. For some previously but not currently pregnant women, we were unable to quantify parity at last pregnancy because the participant reported more than one pregnancy between visits, often due to spontaneous abortion or for other reasons.
