a Delivery complications included “bled a lot,” “baby got stuck,” “infection,” “high blood pressure,” “seizures,” “baby needed resuscitation/help to breath,” or other complication specified by the participant
b Significant missing data (between 29 and 44% missing). For all other variables, missingness was < 5%
c Mean difference with 95%CI was used rather than risk ratios
d Risk ratios were adjusted by employment status (employed vs. unemployed), mean poverty index score, and insurance status (insured vs. uninsured) at the time of delivery
