Popis:	Objective We aimed to examine the associations of maternal anthropometrics with fetal weight measured in different periods of pregnancy and with birth outcomes. Design Population-based birth cohort study. Setting Data of pregnant women and their children in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Population In 8541 mothers, height, prepregnancy body mass index (BMI) and gestational weight gain were available. Methods Fetal growth was measured by ultrasound in mid- and late pregnancy. Regression analyses were used to assess the impact of maternal anthropometrics on fetal weight and birth outcomes. Main outcome measures Fetal weight and birth outcomes: weight (grams) and the risks of small ( 95th percentile) size for gestational age at birth. Results Maternal BMI in pregnancy was positively associated with estimated fetal weight during pregnancy. The effect estimates increased with advancing gestational age. All maternal anthropometrics were positively associated with fetal size (P-values for trend
