Abstract
An increasing concern to public health, obesity has rapidly increased in prevalence during the past ten years. The most prevalent medical condition among women of reproductive age is obesity. Because it is such a rampant problem among women, the implications of obesity on pregnancy are frequently disregarded. Pregnancy-related obesity has unfavorable immediate and long-term effects on the mother and the fetus. Obesity raises the likelihood of obstetric issues for the mother during the prenatal, labor, and delivery periods as well as making fetal assessment more challenging technically. The risk of long-term health issues and the rate of prenatal morbidity are both higher in children of obese mothers. This article reviews the prevalence of obesity in pregnancy, fertility and reproductive health, risk of spontaneous abortion and congenital anomalies, placental changes and long-term effects on the mother and offspring associated with maternal obesity
