Abstract
⺠US Women's early adult weight can influence lifetime childbearing trajectories, not just single birth events. ⺠Women's weight does not similarly influence childbearing in dissimilar historical weight contexts. ⺠Obese women are less likely to have children in leaner historical weight contexts; their odds of marrying are low. ⺠Social factors shape the link between weight and childbearing because obesity's social consequences are gendered.
