The original version of the article unfortunately contained some wrong data.

The correct data are given here:

1. In the Abstract, Results section: A mean BMD loss of 0.0382 g/cm² (around 6% of early pregnancy BMD) was demonstrable from early to late gestation.

2. In the text, Results section, first paragraph, last sentence: A mean BMD loss of 0.0382 g/cm² (around 6% of early pregnancy BMD) was demonstrable from early to late gestation (Table 1).

3. In Table 1, third column bottom line, the value for Mean BMD under the column of Late third trimester (36–40 weeks) should be 0.555 (0.104), and the numbers for the fourth column bottom line should be <0.001; −0.038 (−0.035 to −0.041). The correct table is given here.

Changes in anthropometric parameters from early to late pregnancy

	Early pregnancy (<20 weeks) (SD)	Late third trimester (36–40 weeks) (SD)	P value; MD (95% CI)
Weight (kg)	56.9 (8.37)	66.6 (8.11)	<0.001; 9.78 (9.5–10.07)
Body mass index (kg/cm2)	23.2 (3.23)	27.2 (3.08)	<0.001; 4.0 (3.88–4.11)
Body fat composition (%)	30.5 (5.79)	38 (4.95)	<0.001; 7.52 (7.25–7.79)
Mean BMD (g/cm2)	0.593 (0.108)	0.555 (0.104)	<0.001; −0.038 (−0.035 to −0.041)
