Abstract:

While a fetus can gain some benefit from an obese mother, it can be potentially dangerous for the mother herself. There are many risks, in fact, that an obese mother faces during pregnancy. Elizabeth Barnett, David Savitz and Irva Hertz-Picciotto have conducted a study of low-income women to examine the relationship of obesity to perinatal mortality.
