Alpha diversity (Shannon index) for each sample type and timepoint. A Maternal stool (MST) microbiome diversity did not change prenatally to birth (Shannon index, P = 0.138), whereas maternal vaginal (MSV) microbiome diversity significantly increased after birth (Shannon index, P < 0.001). B Infant meconium (IMC) and infant stool (IST) microbiome diversity displayed significant increases from birth to 18 months postpartum (Shannon index, P < 0.001). Horizontal lines in boxplots indicate median; boxes show first and third quartiles
