β adjusted regression coefficient, SE standard error, CES-D Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, STAI State-Trait Anxiety inventory, z-score (a standard deviation score) calculated as a number of standard deviations an individual birth weight differs from population-based mean birth weight value at a certain gestational week of pregnancy

aAll models are adjusted for age, parity, BMI, general health, smoking and education. All variables are considered as continuous variables except for snoring which was considered as categorical (yes vs no)

bAll mothers n = 1410

Bolded values are the values which are significant (p<0.05)
