The prevalence and impact of overweight and obesity in an Australian obstetric population
The Medical Journal of Australia · 2006 · Vol. 184(2) · pp. 56–59
Abstract
Overweight and obesity are common in pregnant women. Increasing BMI is associated with maternal and neonatal outcomes that may increase the costs of obstetric care. To assist in planning health service delivery, we believe that BMI should be routinely recorded on perinatal data collection sheets.
