Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to measure energy intake and energy expenditure during and after pregnancy. The investigators hypothesize that obese pregnant women with weight gain above the Institute of Medicine (IOM) guidelines, 'High Gainers', will have increased energy intake but no evidence for changes in energy expenditure after adjustment for the weight gained when compared to women with appropriate gestational weight gain, 'Normal Gainers'. Additionally, the investigators will measure the babies born to the pregnant women enrolled in MomEE at one time point before 10 days of life.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Energy Intake
Time Frame: Approximately 6 months (from 13-16 weeks gestation to 35-37 weeks gestation)
Energy intake is determined using the energy intake-balance method. Energy intake was calculated as the sum of energy expenditure by doubly labeled water and energy deposition of fat and fat-free tissues by 3 compartment model using plethysmography and isotope dilution.
Secondary Outcomes
- Physical Activity(Approximately 7 days within 35-37 weeks gestation)
- Percentage of Fat of Energy Intake(Approximately 7 days within 35-37 weeks gestation)
- Energy Expenditure During Sleep(1 day within 35-37 weeks gestation)
- Percentage of Carbohydrate of Energy Intake(Approximately 7 days within 35-37 weeks gestation)
- Percentage of Protein of Energy Intake(Approximately 7 days within 35-37 weeks gestation)
