OBESITY

 

Many complications of childbirth are increased by maternal obesity. Maternal obesity is associated with an increased risk of stillbirth, although the mechanisms to explain this association are not clear.0701

Confidential enquiries into maternal deaths has shown that 35% of the all women who died were obese; this is 50% more than in the general population.cemach

In obese women with GDM, pregnancy outcome is compromised regardless of the level of obesity or treatment modality.0801
