GraviD-child Follow-up of the Children´s Health, Growth and Development Within the GraviD-study

GraviD is a multi-ethnic population-based pregnancy cohort. Pregnant women were invited to participate in the GraviD study when registering for antenatal care in parts of the region of Västra Götaland in Sweden in 2013-2014. All women registering for antenatal care were eligible for inclusion, as long as the pregnancy had not exceeded 16 gestational weeks. In total, 2125 pregnant women were recruited in gestational week 12 during two time-periods; fall 2013 and spring 2014. Blood sampling was performed in gestational week \31 by midwifes. After delivery, the maternity records were obtained, to collect information on child's gender, birth weight and length and other possible birth outcomes.
