Maternal Obesity Increases Gestation Length and Complications

Kudos, fatsos.

"Higher maternal body mass index (BMI) in the first trimester of pregnancy and a greater change in BMI during pregnancy are associated with longer gestations, a decreased rate of spontaneous labor at term, and more complications, according to results of a study published in the May issue of the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology."

More early child abuse.
