  1. In parenthesis, p value for significant correlation (pā€‰<ā€‰0.05). 1log transformed for statistical comparisons. Weight gain at 15 weeks is the difference between measured weight at 15 weeks of pregnancy and pre-pregnancy self-reported weight. Weight gain at 24 weeks is the difference between 24 and 15 weeks of pregnancy. Weight gain at 30 weeks is the difference between 30 and 24 weeks of pregnancy.
