Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the extent that it may have a negative effect on health, leading to reduced life expectancy and /or increased health problems.
For most adults, having a body mass index of 23 to 27.9 is considered to be overweight, and a BMI over 28 is considered to be obese.
Being obese can harm your fertility by inhibiting normal ovulation. Obesity can also affect the outcome of in vitro fertilization (IVF). As a woman’s BMI increases, so does the risk of unsuccessful IVF.
Being obese during pregnancy increases the risk of: Gestational Diabetes Mellitus, Preeclampsia and Infection, overdue pregnancy, labor problems, Cesarean section and pregnancy loss.
