Being overweight doubles risk of miscarriage
It is already known that women who are overweight are more likely to have complications such as a miscarriage whilst carrying a baby that was naturally conceived. However, doctors are now warning that being a ‘heavier mum’ whilst having IVF treatment doubles the chance of miscarriage.
The more overweight that a pregnant woman is, the higher her risk of needing a cesarean section. Also, obese women are much more likely to suffer from infections or the excessive loss of blood during a c-section.
By having weight loss surgery before pregnancy, women who are overweight could help to lower the risk of pregnancy complications, including high blood pressure, pre-eclampsia and diabetes .
Also by undertaking bariatric surgery women can also reduce their risk of colon cancer and heart disease as well as ensuring a healthy pregnancy.
