ABSTRACT
The worldwide rates of obesity have increased significantly in recent decades. In the United States, more than 50% of pregnant women are overweight or obese. Obese gravid women are more prone to adverse pregnancy outcomes, including gestational diabetes, hypertensive disorders, and cardiovascular diseases. The adverse outcomes extend beyond the pregnant obese woman; offspring of obese women are themselves at increased risk of prematurity, fetal death, injury during birth, and transient respiratory problems and metabolic effects (ie, neonatal hypoglycemia). Furthermore, maternal obesity can predispose their offspring to long-term health problems, potentially generating an intergenerational cycle of obesity and insulin resistance.
