摘要

One of the significant challenges in obstetric practice is the rising case of maternal obesity and undernourishment. These conditions can result in severe negative implications for mothers as well as foetuses. Some hazards associated with mothers include gestational diabetes and preeclampsia, hypotension and many more. The neonate or the foetus may suffer from congenital defects and even death while in the womb due to maternal obesity. Pregnancy-related obesity may bring about some long-term implications both for the mother’s health and that of the neonate. These complications for women embrace high blood pressure and heart diseases. Future heart disease and obesity are risks for offsprings. Diabetes increases the risk of the disease in women and their offspring. Gynaecologists and obstetricians are in a good position to stop and manage this pandemic. The chapter describes the various patterns and considerations during pregnancy period by the pregnant women for maintenance of health of their own and their foetus, such as dietary considerations, yoga asanas and exercises.
