Pre-Pregnancy Weight Loss and Baby Behavior Study

The researchers will recruit babies from the original cohort in the PLAN study (NCT03244722), regardless of which arms they participated in. However, the researchers will test the study arms from the original PLAN study for effects on the study's dependent variables. Their between-subjects arms included Pre-pregnancy obesity with intensive weight loss intervention, pre-pregnancy obesity with standard of care intervention, and pre-pregnancy healthy weight with no intervention. So, although the researchers are not assigning babies to any arms, their original assignment will still be assessed the study analysis.
