Gestational weight gain (GWG) for all participants (n = 219) after first trimester/GA 12 + 0 weeks (A), second trimester/GA 28 + 0 weeks (B), and third trimester/GA 40 + 0 weeks (total GWG) (C). Self-reported and measured weights (dots) and predicted weights by mixed effects model (lines) for all individuals throughout pregnancy in the three groups (D-F). ANOVA was used for A-C and showed no differences between groups at GA 12 + 0 weeks (p = 0.310), GA 28 + 0 weeks (p = 0.396) and GA 40 + 0 weeks (p = 0.538).
