Parity modulates impact of BMI and Gestational Weight Gain on gut microbiota in human pregnancy
Abstract
Abstract Pregnancy requires maternal adaptations to support fetal growth: whether these adaptations include temporal shifts in the gut microbiome is still unclear. We investigated the maternal gut microbiome longitudinally over the course of pregnancy and the impact of pre-pregnancy BMI (pBMI) and GWG. We also determined whether parity modulated observed associations. We show that the gut microbiota of participants with higher pBMI changed less …
