Maternal smoking and fetal growth characteristics in different periods of pregnancy the generation R study
The authors examined the associations of maternal smoking in pregnancy with various fetal growth characteristics among 7,098 pregnant women participating in the Generation R Study (2002-2006), a population-based prospective cohort study of pregnant women and their children in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Maternal smoking was assessed by questionnaires administered in early, mid-, and late pregnancy. Fetal growth characteristics evaluated included head circumference, abdominal circumference, and femur length measured repeatedly in mid- and late pregnancy. Maternal smoking during pregnancy was associated with reduced growth in head circumference (-0.56 mm/week; 95% confidence interval (CI): -0.73, -0.40), abdominal circumference (-0.58 mm/week; 95% CI: -0.81, -0.34), and femur length (-0.19 mm/week; 95% CI: -0.23, -0.14).
