TL;DR: Treatment of gestational diabetes reduces serious perinatal morbidity and may also improve the woman's health-related quality of life.

TL;DR: This review focuses on those experimental studies that have investigated the critical windows during which perturbations of the intrauterine environment have major effects, the nature of the epigenetic, structural, and functional adaptive responses which result in a permanent programming of cardiovascular and metabolic function, and the role of the interaction between the pre- and postnatal environment in determining final health outcomes.

TL;DR: There were no significant differences between the vitamin and placebo groups in the risk of preeclampsia, death or serious outcomes in the infants, and delivering an infant whose birth weight was below the 10th percentile for gestational age.

TL;DR: For women who were overweight or obese, the antenatal lifestyle advice used in this study did not reduce the risk delivering a baby weighing above the 90th centile for gestational age and sex or improve maternal pregnancy and birth outcomes.

TL;DR: Pending long-term outcome results, the short-term benefits for the babies in the study support the use of repeat doses of corticosteroids in women who remain at risk of very preterm birth 7 or more days after an initial course.
