1 14 values missing from intervention; 10 missing from control. 2 OR = odds ratio. 3 CI = confidence interval. 4 Underweight to normal weight (≤24.9), overweight (25.0–29.9), obese (≥30.0–39.9). Underweight and normal weight were grouped together due to a low number of observations in the underweight category (n = 4). 5 Calculated over the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. All analyses adjusted for study site (Hamilton, London) but not PBMI as the analysis was for prevention effect across pBMI categories.
