New Data Re: Obesity in Pregnancy- Weight Gain Recs, and NPWT at CS
02 Apr 2024
According to the CDC, as well as worldwide data, the percentage of individuals categorized as overweight or obese is rising. First released in 1990 by the IOM, the guidelines for expected weight gain in pregnancy-based on pre-pregnancy weight (BMI)- have been controversial. These guidelines were revised in 2009. Now, a new publication from the Lancet (28 March 2024), is questioning the validity of the “minimal weight gain” recommended for patients with obesity. In this episode, we will review this controversy. Additionally, we will highlight a separate publication from the AJOG MFM (systematic review and meta-analysis) discussing NPWT use at C-section for patients with obesity.
