The authors wish to make the following changes to their paper (Savard et al., 2018 [1]). While re-analyzing our data for a new manuscript (using the same database), we observed that some of our participants’ characteristics were different compared to those presented in our previously published work. The mistakes were unintentional and do not impact the main findings of our paper, as they were only related to descriptive analyses (see below: Table 1; data on pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and household income).

3. Results
Characteristics of the participants are presented in Table 1. Of the 86 pregnant women recruited, seven were lost to follow-up, mainly due to miscarriage or lack of time to devote to the project. Therefore, results include 79 pregnant women with a mean age of 32.1 ± 3.7 years and an average pre-pregnancy BMI of 25.7 ± 5.8 kg/m2. The majority of participants were Caucasian (97.5%), had a university degree (78.5%), an annual household income of C$80,000 or more (64.6%), and were multiparous (64.6%).
