Associations between Maternal Cadmium Exposure with Risk of Preterm Birth and Low after Birth Weight Effect of Mediterranean Diet Adherence on Affected Prenatal Outcomes
TOXICS, 8(4).

DNA methylation and body mass index from birth to adolescence: meta-analyses of epigenome-wide association studies
GENOME MEDICINE, 12(1).

MeSH headings : Adolescent; Body Mass Index; Child; Child, Preschool; CpG Islands; Cross-Sectional Studies; DNA Methylation; Epigenesis, Genetic; Epigenome; Female; Fetal Blood; Humans; Male; Obesity / genetics; Parturition; Pediatric Obesity / genetics; Pregnancy

Effect of Prenatal Smoke Exposure on Birth Weight: The Moderating Role of Maternal Depressive Symptoms
NICOTINE & TOBACCO RESEARCH, 22(1), 40–47.
MeSH headings : Adolescent; Adult; Biomarkers / blood; Birth Weight / drug effects; Cotinine / blood; Depression / complications; Female; Gestational Age; Humans; Infant, Low Birth Weight; Infant, Newborn; Male; Maternal Exposure / adverse effects; Pregnancy; Prenatal Exposure Delayed Effects / etiology; Prenatal Exposure Delayed Effects / pathology; Prospective Studies; Risk Factors; Tobacco Smoke Pollution / adverse effects; Young Adult
TL;DR:
Prenatal cotinine was a significant predictor of birth weight only in the context of maternal depressive symptoms, suggesting prenatal smoke exposure has a greater negative effect on birth weight for women endorsing co-occurring depressive symptoms.
