Edwards, Laura E. | Dickes, William F. | Alton, Irene R. | Hakanson, Erick Y.
Extract: The obstetric performance and pregnancy outcome in 208 massively obese patients who were delivered over an eight year period were compared with those of non obese control subjects. Significantly increased incidences of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, gestational diabetes, inadequate weight gain, and wound or episiotomy infection were observed in the study group. The mean birth weight of the infants of obese women was 209 grams greater than that of the control subjects. A significantly increased number of the obese patients were delivered of excessive sized infants. Despite this, the incidence of obesity in infants of obese women was not significantly increased at birth or six months of age. By 12 months of age, however, these infants were significantly more obese than the control infants.
