a

N = 4,981 for birth weight; N = 4,797 for birth length; N = 4,895 for head circumference.

b

N = 4,922 for birth weight; N = 4,736 for birth length; N = 4,838 for head circumference.

c

The crude regression analyses were restricted to the same study sample as in the adjusted analysis.

d

Adjusted for a set of confounders: maternal age, education, parity, alcohol use during pregnancy (never, sometimes, and regular/binge), presence of symptoms of anxiety/depression, tobacco smoking in pregnancy (never, sometimes, and daily), use of illicit drugs, use of prescribed medications during pregnancy (opioids and benzodiazepines), work situation, planned pregnancy, and sex.
