Maternal Physical Activity Prior to and During Pregnancy Does Not Moderate the Relationship Between Maternal Body Mass Index and Infant Macrosomia

ConclusionsMaternal BMI was a significant predictor of infant macrosomia. However, mothers participating in at least 90 minutes of PA per week in the preconception or prenatal periods did not moderate this association. More rigorous study designs and precise measurements of maternal PA and neonatal size are warranted.
