Leading birth defects specialists say maternal obesity during pregnancy puts
both mom and baby at risk, and they are calling on health care providers to spread the message.
Studies indicate obesity doubles a woman's chances of having a
baby with neural tube
Compared with normal-weight women, obese women have a greater risk of
developing complications during pregnancy. Their babies are also more likely to
be admitted to neonatal intensive care units.
Obesity a pregnancy risk factor, adding
that women should be told about the risk in the same way that they are warned
about the dangers of smoking and drinking alcohol during pregnancy. The
Teratology Society studies the causes and processes of birth defects to improve
diagnosis and prevention.
A woman who is 5 feet, 5 inches tall would be
considered obese if she weighs 180 pounds or more. A 5-foot-8-inch woman would
be considered obese if she tips the scales at
The
new report outlined specific risks associated with obesity during pregnancy,
based on findings from recent studies.Among the report's highlights:
- · Obese women have an increased risk of infertility and pregnancy-related complications, including hypertension,gestational diabetes, and blood clots.
- · Women who are obese are more likely than women who aren't to require cesarean sections.
- · A study from France found that hospital costs for prenatal care were dramatically higher for overweight and obese women. Costs were fivefold to 16-fold greater than for normal-weight women, depending on how much extra weight the women carried.
- · The committee recommended that obese women should try to lose weight before becoming pregnant. But it warned women not to diet during pregnancy, noting that "adequate nutrition is important for pregnant women and women planning pregnancy."
- · Some recent reports suggest that women with gastric banding can have normal pregnancies and better pregnancy outcomes than women who do not have the surgery, but the committee concluded that "it appears reasonable to recommend that pregnancy be delayed until surgery-related weight loss has stabilized."
Laser
assisted Lipolysis is a minor body contouring procedure, which uses a fine
cannula to deliver a safe, powerful laser to disrupt the fat cells causing them
to melt and break down. Laser assisted Lipolysis does not involve any major
procedure or general anaesthetic and tends not to give the bruising and
extended recovery periods often
associated with traditional liposuction. The
risk of skin sagging is reduced, as the heat from the laser tightens the
underlying layers of skin leaving a smooth and sculptured finish. Treatment
times vary but typically take about two - four hours and patients can return to
their normal routine within a couple of days.
The procedure is actually very straightforward.
Firstly, you'll be given a local anaesthetic in the area you're having treated.
This will numb the area, but you will remain awake and aware of what is
happening. A surgeon will make a very small incision so
that the laser can be inserted, and then it's a case of just lying back and
relaxing for around one to two hours while the laser does its job. The exact amount of time it takes will
largely depend upon the size of the area being treated.
