Summary: This study investigated the relationship between hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) and the risk of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in children. It found that children born to mothers with HDP had higher rates of preterm-birth and small-for-gestational-age, both of which are risk factors for ASD. The study also suggested that HDP may not be a major contributor to ASD, but rather preterm-birth and SGA play a moderating role in increasing ASD risks.

Summary: 90% of vitamin D is synthesized in the skin through sunlight, while 10% comes from food. Vitamin D is crucial for skeletal growth, cell proliferation and differentiation, and immune function. This study found that maternal vitamin D concentration had no significant effect on hematological and serological changes, but it was inversely proportional to sexually transmitted infection rates. Additionally, vitamin D concentration influenced fetal bone growth, specifically in humerus and femur lengths. Preventing vitamin D deficiency and promoting outdoor activities or supplementation are recommended.

Summary: This study found a positive relationship between maternal 25(OH)D levels during early pregnancy and offspring bone health, with differences by gender. Adjusting for offspring factors and maternal QUS parameters did not weaken this association.

Summary: Prenatal vitamin D deficiency is associated with offspring asthma or recurrent wheezing. However, evidence on the efficacy of vitamin D supplementation is inconclusive. This study aimed to examine the efficacy of prenatal vitamin D supplementation based on maternal baseline vitamin D status and timing of supplementation, and found that supplementation was beneficial regardless of baseline vitamin D levels, with the greatest reduction in asthma or wheezing observed in severely vitamin D-deficient women.

Summary: This population-based record-linkage study examined the association between maternal gestational Vitamin D3 supplementation and early respiratory health in offspring. The study found that infants prenatally exposed to maternal Vitamin D3 supplementation had a longer gestational age at birth and a lower risk of respiratory illness. This study provides evidence for the positive impact of maternal gestational Vitamin D3 supplementation on early respiratory outcomes in young children.

Summary: The study found that the prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and advanced maternal age (AMA, >= 35 years) is increasing worldwide. This study evaluated the risks of pregnancy outcomes among younger and older women with GDM and analyzed the epidemiological interaction between GDM and AMA.

Summary: Several meta-analyses have found that low maternal serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels are associated with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). However, this study examined the association between serum 25(OH)D concentration and GDM in Russian women and found no significant correlation. Additionally, the increased intake of vitamin D supplements during pregnancy did not result in higher levels of 25(OH)D.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between early gestational weight gain (GWG) in dichorionic twin pregnancies and the risk of preeclampsia, taking into account the body mass index (BMI) of the mothers. The results showed that among women with normal BMI, an increased early GWG was associated with an increased incidence of preeclampsia. However, early GWG had minimal impact on the risk of preeclampsia in women with overweight or obesity.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between gestational weight gain (GWG) and the size of infants at birth, and found that weight maintenance during the second and third trimesters may be associated with better birth weight for gestational age. However, it is unclear how this can be achieved (e.g., through diet and exercise interventions) due to the observational design of the study.

Summary: This ongoing randomized controlled trial in the United States evaluates the effectiveness of telelactation-delivered antenatal milk expression (AME) education intervention among birthing people with pre-pregnancy BMI >= 25 kg/m(2). The study aims to assess lactation outcomes and factors associated with breastfeeding success through surveys, data abstraction, and milk sample collection. This study will provide evidence on the effectiveness and acceptability of telelactation-delivered AME.
