Abstract

Introduction: Maternal obesity has implications for both mother and baby including increased health risks from gestational hypertensive disorders, caesarean section and stillbirth. Despite the increasing prevalence of maternal obesity, little is known of the experiences of these women within the health care system. The aim of this research was to investigate the views and attitudes of obese pregnant women receiving antenatal care.
