Article Synopsis
- This study assessed the risks related to maternal obesity (BMI ≥30) during pregnancy and the postpartum period among 2972 pregnant women at a hospital in Bahrain.
- Key findings indicate that higher BMI is linked to increased age, high parity, a history of miscarriages, and a greater risk of developing conditions like hypertension and antepartum hemorrhage.
- Despite these risks, high BMI patients did not show an increased likelihood of gestational diabetes, induction of labor, or cesarean births, but they faced longer hospital stays after delivery.
Objectives The early diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy is essential in determining the appropriate therapeutic approach.

Methods This was a retrospective cohort study of 58 ectopic pregnancies that were treated medically with methotrexate in Bahrain Defense Force (BDF) Hospital from January 2016 to January 2021.
