Summary

Obesity is a globally growing public health problem. In 1993, about 25% of women in Sweden were overweight (BMI over 25) or obese (BMI over 30) on the first visit to maternal health care. Twenty years later, in 2013, the corresponding proportion was 38%. Being fat increases the risk of several severe complications during pregnancy and childbirth, such as miscarriage, premature birth, congenital disabilities, intrauterine fetal death, thromboembolism, gestational diabetes, pregnancy-induced hypertension.

Purpose of the project: To assess whether the introduction of new guidelines for overweight pregnant women (BMI\>35) affects the outcome of pregnancy and childbirth, such as the frequency of cesarean sections or labor inductions.
