With the dramatic rise in obesity among women of child-bearing age, this welcome update on the latest knowledge of complications arising to obese women in pregnancy and birth covers an exhaustive range of issues, from macrosomia to miscarriage and fertility.
A dramatic and worldwide increase is occurring in the prevalence of overweight and obesity in women of childbearing age. Obese women carry a significant excess risk of a variety of serious complications during pregnancy, and in addition, maternal obesity predisposes to obesity in the offspring.
