  2. Model 2: Model 1 + pre-pregnancy BMI
  3. Model 3: Model 2 + maternal age, parity, gestational age
  4. Abbreviations: GDM gestational diabetes mellitus, CI confidence interval, OGTT oral glucose tolerance test, WFLZ weight-for-length z-score, WFAZ weight-for-age z-score, LFAZ length-for-age z-score, BMI body mass index
