pregnancy weight gain, diet during pregnancy, maternal pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes,
gestational age at birth, birth weight, and infant feeding practices. Maternal data is
linked to other data collected from critical time periods in the nurses's life cycle, such
as menarche, first pregnancy, or adult dietary intake.
