Abstract
Obesity is a significant health and social problem that is the scale of the growing worldwide epidemic. Over the past 10 years, the number of obese pregnant women has doubled. There are multiple risk factors associated with obesity, which includes poor nutrition, foods that are high in easily digestible carbohydrates and fats, frequent snacks, and widespread fast food consumption. Metabolic changes, especially in women with the genetic predisposition, are manifested by insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, arterial hypertension, and hypercoagulation syndrome. The course of pregnancy and childbirth in obese women is associated with a series of successive pathological conditions, such as miscarriage, the occurrence of gestational diabetes mellitus, preeclampsia and eclampsia, infectious complications, prolonged pregnancy, the occurrence of bleeding and much more. We have analyzed modern ideas about womens reproductive health and the course of pregnancy and childbirth in obesity.
