Maternal dietary conditions and changes in the intra uterine environment are directly related to the outcome of
pregnancy. Childbirth preterm, restricted intra uterine growth and newborn with low weight have a higher risk

between pre-pregnancy obesity, chronic hypertension, dyslipidemia, and inflammation in early pregnancy
to higher risks of preterm birth and intrauterine growth restriction
