ABSTRACT
Pregnant women with obesity are at considerable risk during their labor and delivery. The aim of obstetric care is the safe delivery of the baby and the maintenance of good health of the mother while providing an ongoing support for the family unit. The awareness and mitigation of risks associated with caring for women who are obese is vital in ensuring continued good outcomes. Transfer of women for labor care, presence of senior staff, bariatric resources, understanding of the progress of labor with an increase in body mass index, and preparation for complications are covered in this chapter.
