Abstract
There is a very significant difference between the weight of the children born to mothers addicted to illicit drugs and the rest of the children. Similarly, the weight of the children born to smoking mothers is significantly lower. There was no association between maternal anaemia and the type of ART. The children of our population have lower weights, length and OFC at birth, but this may due to the high number of scheduled caesarean births, practised at 38 weeks of pregnancy (54.5%). Our children catch-up with anthropometric measurements during the first and second year of life, and these are similar to Spanish standards at 18 months old.
