Obesity, especially morbid or class III obesity, such as those with a BMI of beyond 40 kg/m2 does have a significant impact on high risk pregnancies. In increases the risk of gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, venous thromboembolism, caesarean section and postpartum haemorrhage apart from the risk of developing OSA which is known as Obstructive Sleep Apnoea. That is why we now recommend Bariatric Surgery before pregnancy as one of the options to reduce the implications of obesity on the pregnancy.
