Maternal birth weight in relation to plasma lipid concentrations in early pregnancy

Article Abstract:

An attempt is made to determine the extent to which, if at all, maternal weight at birth is related to dyslipidemia during early pregnancy, which is a risk factor for preeclampsia. The findings indicate that factors that are related to growth in utero may help to predict the subsequent risk of altered lipid metabolism during pregnancy, which may be casually related to the occurrence of preeclampsia.

Maternal plasma concentrations of IGF-1, IGFBP-1, and C-peptide in early pregnancy and subsequent risk of gestational diabetes mellitus

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to study the association between circulating concentrations of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), IGF binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1) in early pregnancy and the development of gestational diabetes. Evidence was found to conclude that IGF-1, IGFBP-1 is associated to development of gestational diabetes during early pregnancy.

Maternal birth weight and cesarean delivery in four race-ethnic groups

Article Abstract:

Women who had low or high body weights at birth appear to have an increased risk of cesarean section when they become pregnant. In a study of 18,905 deliveries, this effect was most prominent in white women, less prominent in Hispanics and Native Americans and not a factor at all in black women.

Statistical Data Included, Demographic aspects, Birth weight, Cesarean section
