**p-value < 0.01; vs., versus; OR, odds ratio. R2, logistic regression pseudo-R2. N total = 36 959, 36 913 and 30133 in models 1, 2 and 3 respectively.

Model 1: Adjusted OR for maternal age, parity, maternal weight gain and height.

Model 2: Adjusted OR for model 1 and multiple birth, hypertension, diabetes, macrosomia, gestational age.

Model 3: Adjusted OR for model 2 and maternal origin, education, employment, cohabiting status.
