Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Obesity is a major risk factor for many obstetrical complications, including pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, indicated preterm birth, macrosomia, and stillbirth. Clinicians should be aware of the unique obstetrical management considerations related to obesity, including recommendations for alterations in prenatal care. In addition, obese gravidas commonly have underlying medical conditions that can impact pregnancy and must be appreciated to optimize care. Obese women should be educated about these risks, ideally before pregnancy. Awareness of the complications that can arise for these women and potential changes in management offer opportunities to improve both prenatal and lifelong health. |
