Consequences Of Obesity

Introduction: Potential ill effects of obesity in pregnancy pose a challenge encompassing many comorbidities that threaten the life and require special attention. Pregnancy is the most crucial event for women surrounded with multiple complexities. Obesity during pregnancy leads to life threatening events for mother as well as fetus. Purpose of the present study was to identify the feto-maternal outcomes of obesity during pregnancy. Methodology: An observational cross-section design was used. Non-probability convenient sampling was done to collect data from 170 women. Data related to predominated maternal problem during pregnancy and fetus birth was collected. Ethical considerations were followed. Data was analyzed through SPSS (version 24.0). Results: Findings revealed multiple consequences of obesity on both mother and fetus. Obesity was considered as a mainstay of feto-maternal complications and findings revealed a significant association (p-value <0.05). Conclusion: Obesity is a signal for many adverse feto-maternal outcomes during pregnancy that poses a challenge for both mother and fetus. It is concluded from this study that there is ample need to educate mothers regarding the hazardous consequences of obesity in pregnancy. Keywords: Fetus, Maternal, Consequences, Obesity, Pregnancy

In Pregnancy

During nine months of pregnancy, a woman who smokes 20 cigarettes each day will inhale nicotine, tar and carbon monoxide more than 50 000 times. This smoke contains chemicals known to be mutagenic and carcinogenic and will interfere with the normal growth and development of her child. Recent studies have revealed disturbing long-term consequences for the offspring. This article reviews the constituents of cigarette smoke, the effects of tobacco usage on the pregnancy, child and placenta, and strategies by which smoking during pregnancies may be prevented.

Objective To date, no information on late-onset infection in newborns to mother with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) contracted in pregnancy are available. This study aimed to evaluate postdischarge SARS-CoV-2 status of newborns to mothers with COVID-19 in pregnancy that, at birth, were negative to SARS-CoV-2. Study Design This is an observational study of neonates born to mothers with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Results Seven pregnant women with documented SARS-CoV-2 infection have been evaluated in our institution. One woman had a spontaneous abortion at 8 weeks of gestational age, four women recovered and are still in follow-up, and two women delivered. Two newborns were enrolled in the study. At birth and 3 days of life, newborns were negative to SARS-CoV-2. At 2-week follow-up, one newborn tested positive although asymptomatic. Conclusion Our findings highlight the importance of follow-up of newborns to mothers with COVID-19 in pregnancy, since they remain at risk of contracting the infection in the early period of life and long-term consequences are still unknown.
