A Comparative Study of Maternal and Neonatal Outcomes in Obese and Non-obese Iraqi Pregnant Women Undergoing Cesarean Section

The study concluded that obesity has adverse effects on pregnancy outcomes for mothers and their infants. A low educational level is associated with high BMI, leading to high risks of postoperative complications. Gestational diabetes and gestational hypertension are more frequent in obese women. Obese women should be considered high-risk and recommended to maintain weight to reduce any complications after surgery.
