^* The reference category is normal weight pregnant women.
Estimated unstandardized regression coefficients with 95% Confidence intervals are mentioned in this table. Bold is significant (p < 0.05); a = baseline, HTN = hypertension, GDM: gestational diabetes mellitus; LGA: large for gestational age; ICU: invasive care unit.
