Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A high body weight on conception and during pregnancy can have health implications for both the mother and child. Obese mothers have an increased risk of developing gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia, delivering via Caesarean section and giving birth to large-for-gestational-age infants or infants with congenital anomalies. Women need to be educated about the importance of achieving a healthy body weight before conception, to avoid complications during pregnancy and prevent perinatal perturbations. |
