Summary
Obesity is one of the biggest public health problems of the 21st century as it increases the
risk of many co-morbid medical conditions. Obesity in pregnancy places women at higher risk
of obstetrical complications during pregnancy, delivery and puerperium. Obesity is a risk
factor for cesarean delivery, failed induction of labor and labor dystocia, and prolonged
labor curves especially among women with class III obesity.
