Studying the Features of the Course of Pregnancy in Women of Fertile Age with Obesity

Abstract

In recent years, the problem of the impact of maternal overweight on the outcomes of pregnancy and childbirth has become relevant, and this problem is of serious concern not only in the field of family medicine, but also in obstetrics-gynecology and neonatology. The incidence of obesity in pregnant women in different countries of the world is not unambiguous. So, in the Russian Federation it ranges from 25% to 31.2%, in the UK and the USA from 19% to 25%, thus, obesity and overweight occur in every third pregnant woman, and more often in multiparous women (62.8%). It should be noted that obesity itself can cause infertility in women of reproductive age.
