Journal Article
Maternal and fetal outcomes during pregnancy and puerperium in obese and overweight pregnant women. A cohort study
2021
Overview
Purpose
compare incidences of maternal–fetal complications during pregnancy, labor, and early puerperium according to baseline BMI in a consecutive cohort of pregnant women.
Methods
This retrospective cohort study compares pregnancy outcome indicators by body mass index (BMI) in 1236 pregnant women managed over the period January 2017 to May 2018. Data were collected regarding the personal history (smoking, diabetes and hypertension), obstetrics and BMI (kg/m

) (normoweight 18.5–24.9, overweight 25–29.9, obese ≥ 30).
Results
Of the 1236 women, 354 (28.6%) were overweight and 206 (16.7%) were obese at the start of pregnancy follow-up. Mean age at this time was 33 years (SD 6). Risk factors for a cesarean-section delivery assessed through logistic regression were maternal age (OR 1.05 95% CI 2.06–6.15;
p
< 0.001) and previous C-section (OR 4.21 95% CI 2.89–6.14;
p
< 0.001) regardless of BMI. In a propensity score analysis, pregnancy weight gain was found lower in obese vs normoweight (− 2.73 kg 95% CI − 3.74 to − 1.72
p
< 0.001), and newborn weight higher in obese vs normoweight women (161.21 g 95% CI 57.94–264.48
p
= 0.002). Labor duration and weight gain were reduced in overweight vs normoweight subjects (− 0.72 h 95% CI − 1.27 to − 0.17
p
= 0.010 and 0.81 kg 95% CI − 1.50 to − 0.12
p
= 0.021, respectively).
Conclusions
In this cohort, obese women showed higher rates of prenatal complications yet obesity and overweight were not related to worse puerperium outcomes.
