Article Synopsis
- A survey of 241 midwives in NHS Tayside aimed to identify their practices and opinions on managing weight in obese pregnant women, with a response rate of 32% (78 midwives).
- Most midwives (79%) calculated BMI at booking, with 73% explaining BMI categories, but only 15% provided personalized weight management advice; however, 77% believed such advice would be appropriate.
- Despite recognizing the importance of weight management, midwives felt unconfident and lacked knowledge, suggesting that training and support are needed to enhance their capabilities in this area.
