Multivariate Results and Odds Ratios Using Logistic Regression for BMI and Weight Gain on Cesarean Delivery

	Cesarean Delivery
BMI	p = 0.000^*
Underweight	0.99 (0.54–1.83)
Normal	1.00
Overweight	1.44 (0.86–2.39)
Obese	2.30 (1.48–3.58)^*
Weight gain	p = 0.084
Undergain	0.97 (0.53–1.79)
Appropriate gain	1.00
Overgain	1.51 (0.98–2.33)

p < 0.05.

Note: Controlling for smoking, alcohol and drug use, age, parity, race, gestational age at delivery and intervention condition. BMI, body mass index.
