Obesity in Pregnancy
When a woman goes through pregnancy with a high body weight, medical follow-up becomes especially important. Obesity in pregnancy refers to the presence of excess weight during gestation, a condition that can affect the health of both the mother and the baby.
Why it is monitored: It can be associated with a higher risk of high blood pressure, blood sugar disturbances, and complications during delivery, so closer monitoring is provided.
How it is managed: It usually includes pregnancy monitoring and guidance on diet and habits, always tailored to each case.
Which specialist treats it? The gynecologist, in their obstetric role, carries out the pregnancy follow-up. If you are pregnant and have questions about your weight, the most advisable thing is to discuss it during your prenatal checkups.
