Of the 2173 included spontaneous singleton pregnancies, 993 had reliable pregnancy dating, 3D ultrasound data up to 10\u2009+\u20092\u2009weeks of gestation, and available information on periconception lifestyle risk factors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>PARTICIPANTS\/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Embryonic development and growth were assessed in vivo at 7 and 9\u2009weeks of gestation using 3D transvaginal ultrasound and virtual reality techniques. Morphologic development was determined using the Carnegie staging system based on limb position, embryonic curvature, and brain morphology; crown-rump length (CRL) was used to assess growth. Periconception lifestyle factors, including smoking, alcohol and caffeine intake, physical activity, and folic acid supplement use, were assessed using early pregnancy questionnaires. Linear mixed models were used to examine the association between lifestyle factors and embryonic Carnegie stages and CRL. Analyses were adjusted for gestational age at ultrasound, maternal age, ethnicity, education level, parity, fetal sex, and the other lifestyle factors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Inadequate folic acid supplement use was associated with a 0.51-day delay in embryonic development and a 0.72-mm reduction in CRL (\u22121.6%) at 10\u2009+\u20092\u2009weeks of gestation. Insufficient serum folate levels (&amp;lt;25.5\u2009nmol\/l) were associated with a 1.01-day developmental delay and a 1.24-mm reduction in CRL (\u22123.7%). No significant associations were observed for smoking, alcohol or caffeine intake, or physical activity. Results remained robust after adjustment for confounders.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Lifestyle exposures were self-reported, which may have introduced recall or social desirability bias. Gestational age determination was based on the last menstrual period, which can result in dating discrepancies due to variability in cycle length or inaccurate recall, but strict inclusion criteria were applied to minimize misclassification.
