  1. GDM gestational diabetes mellitus, BMI body mass index
  2. Regarding pregnancy BMI categories, ≥18.5& < 25 means normal weight; ≥25& < 30 means overweight; ≥30 means obesity. Regarding gestational weeks, < 37 means premature birth; ≥37& < 42 means mature birth; ≥42 means postterm birth
  3. ap values were calculated using the independent sample T-test, and
  4. bp values were calculated using the chi-square test
