Here’s the 11th Womens Wednesday video from IFMCH related to Pre-pregnancy planning Obesity and importance of BMI (Part-4)
Obesity during pregnancy puts you at risk of several serious health problems:
Gestational diabetes is diabetes that is first diagnosed during pregnancy. This condition can increase the risk of having a cesarean delivery. Women who have had gestational diabetes also have a higher risk of having diabetes in the future, as do their children. Obese women are screened for gestational diabetes early in pregnancy and also may be screened later in pregnancy as well.
Other problems associated with obesity in pregnancy are Preeclampsia, Sleep apnea.
Watch the complete video on how you can ensure a healthy BMI and obesity free pregnancy.
