Abstract
These findings support fetal hypoxemia as a common determinant of growth restriction, whether in underweight mothers and due to under-nutrition or in overweight/obese mothers and due to placental insufficiency. However, oxygen is unlikely to be the primary promotor for fetal growth in overweight/obese mothers and LGA infants, with other substrates of more importance as nutritional cues in these pregnancies.
