Pregnancy 24/7 Offspring Study
This observational study, called the Pregnancy 24/7 Offspring Study, is looking at how a mother's health and behaviors during pregnancy might affect her child's risk of obesity and heart problems later on. Researchers are particularly interested in how a mother's physical activity, sedentary (sitting) time, and sleep patterns during pregnancy (what they call "24-hour behavior") might influence her child's health. They will be looking at the child's body mass index (BMIz) from birth up to 30 months old to see if there's a connection. This study aims to enroll 800 participants. To join, mothers must have been part of the Pregnancy 24/7 Study, completed certain behavior assessments, and had a single live birth. Children with certain congenital or chromosomal abnormalities cannot participate.

What this trial measures
- BMIzThrough study completion for each participant: birth to 30 months old.
BMI z-scores will be calculated using WHO growth standards from weight and length data abstracted from well-child visits (birth to 30 months; \~10 per child) and direct measurements at the 24-month study visit.
