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.
