Birth Outcomes
There were no differences between groups for labour onset, type of
birth, estimated gestation at birth, birth weight, birth length, head
circumference, sex, or incidence of hypoglycaemia (p >
0.05; Table 4). Only 4.5% (CTL: n = 1) neonates presented any incidence
of hypoglycaemia, and only 13.6% (CTL: n = 2; PMW: n = 1) neonates met
diagnostic criteria for macrosomia (birth weight > 4000g).
When matched for BMI, no differences were seen between groups for all
birth outcomes.
