Description
The prevalence of obesity in women of childbearing age continues to dramatically increase around the world. Obesity presents specific challenges in relation to fertility and pregnancy. Patients who are obese require specific considerations and knowledge. Obesity and Obstetrics, Second Edition brings together experts to examine the issues and challenges of obesity and obstetrics and discusses how obesity affects fertility, reproduction, and pregnancy. Beginning with the worldwide epidemic of obesity, chapters then go on to review obesity and hyperglycemia of pregnancy, management of labor, interventions to improve care during pregnancy, and long-term impact of maternal obesity.
