Obesity during pregnancy is a major public health concern, as it is associated with an increased risk of complications for both the mother and the baby. Gestational diabetes raises the likelihood of having a large baby (macrosomia), making delivery more difficult. Hypertensive disorders such as gestational hypertension and preeclampsia can lead to severe complications for both mother and child. Additionally, obesity is a significant risk factor for unplanned cesarean sections due to the obstetric challenges it presents.
