Maternal Weight Gain & Childhood Weight

Question

A graduate student here would like to find a survey that looks at "maternal weight gain through pregnancy and childhood recorded weights"... I found a number of sources that dealt with birth weight, but did not have maternal weight gain as a variable. I'm not sure whether 'childhood recorded weights' means birth weight or a longer record of weights through childhood, but am sure either would be of potential use.

Answer

Statistics Canada does not have a survey which collects this information.
