Answer to Question 1

During the Dutch winter famine of 1943-1944, average birthweight declined by 372 grams (13 oz) and delivery of low-birthweight infants increased by 50 percent. Similarly, the siege of Sarajevo, which decreased food availability during 19931994, led to reduced caloric and nutrient intakes during pregnancy and reduced maternal weight gain and newborn weights. In both situations, birthweight did not fully catch up in infants born to women exposed to famine early in pregnancy, even if they received enough food later in pregnancy. These results support the notion that the fetal growth trajectory may be established early in pregnancy and that early nutritional deprivations limit fetal growth regardless of food intake later in pregnancy.
