From the Back Cover


 
 A dramatic and worldwide increase is occurring in the prevalence of
overweight and obesity in women of childbearing age. Obese women carry a
significant excess risk of complications during pregnancy, including
infertility, spontaneous abortion, congenital malformations, gestational
diabetes, preeclampsia, fetal macrosomia, and cesarean delivery.
Furthermore, maternal obesity predisposes to obesity in the offspring,
indicating that the prevention of childhood obesity should already start
during pregnancy.      This book provides a timely update on the latest
knowledge on maternal obesity and pregnancy. A very wide range of
issues are covered, including macrosomia and associated shoulder
dystocia; the risk of miscarriage, malformations, and complications of
pregnancy; the impact of hyperglycemia; clinical management;
consequences for anesthesia and ultrasound; impacts on breastfeeding,
fertility, and childhood obesity; and pregnancy following gastric
surgery.  All of the authors are recognized experts in their fields, and
the book has been designed to meet the practical needs of
obstetricians, gynecologists, internists, and general practitioners.
