Maternal Metabolic Biomarkers are Associated with Obesity and Excess Gestational Weight Gain

Conclusion Maternal metabolic biomarkers at delivery vary significantly with both obesity and GWG.

These findings are consistent with GWG being an independent risk factor for metabolic disturbances during pregnancy.
