Pregnancy,or the desire to become pregnant, often inspires women to take better care of them — quitting smoking,caffeine for example,or eating more nutritiously.But now many women face an increasingly common problem: obesity,which affects 36 percent of women of childbearing age.In addition to hindering conception,obesity — defined as a body mass index above 30 — is linked to a host of difficulties during pregnancy,labor and delivery.These range from gestational diabetes,hypertension and pre-eclampsia to miscarriage,premature birth,emergency cesarean delivery and stillbirth.

The infants of obese women are more likely to have congenital defects, and they are at greater risk of dying at or soon after birth.Babies who survive are more likely to develop hypertension and obesity as adults. To be sure, most babies born to overweight and obese women are healthy. Yet a recently published analysis of 38 studiesfound that even modest increases in a woman’s pre-pregnancy weight raised the risks of fetal death, stillbirth and infant death.

Many clinics and doctors’ avoid taking obese patients for pregnancy because that may reduce their pregnancy success results. It is time for doctors to take a call and they must take more positive steps to treat obese women who are pregnant or want to become pregnant. Obesity is commonly viewed as a personal failing that can be prevented or reversed through motivation and willpower. But the facts suggest otherwise. Many obese women who manage to lose weight are usually highly motivated and use a commercial diet plan. But many obese females fail even though they are very anxious to get pregnant and have a healthy pregnancy. This is the new reality, and obstetricians have to be aware of that and know how to treat patients with weight issues.

Obese patients should not be viewed differently from other patient populations that require additional care or who have increased risks of adverse medical outcomes. Obese patients should be cared for in a nonjudgmental manner, and it is unethical for doctors to refuse care within the scope of their expertise solely because the patient is obese. Obstetricians should discuss the medical risks associated with obesity with their patients and avoid blaming the patient for her increased weight.
Any doctor who feels unable to provide effective care for an obese patient should seek a consultation or refer the woman to another fertility specialist.

Being obese during pregnancy can have a major impact on your health and your baby's health. Most women who are very overweight have a successful pregnancy but if you have a BMI over 30, extra problems for you may include:

Miscarriage and stillbirth
Gestational diabetes

Induction and instrumental (ventouse or forceps) delivery
Caesarean section
