This study aimed to examine prospectively the effects of obesity in pregnancy and GWG, independent of GDM, on neonatal outcome.MethodsPregnant mothers in the first trimester, who presented to health clinics in Kuching, were screened. Mothers with existing diabetes mellitus or GDM were excluded using 75‐g oral glucose tolerance test during the first and second trimesters. Participants with the first trimester BMI ≥ 23 kg/m2 were recruited as overweight/obese group, whereas those with BMI 18.5–22.9 kg/m2 were taken as the comparison group.
