Women who were obese or severely obese had a higher risk of almost all adverse pregnancy outcomes. These findings highlight the need for national obesity preventive strategies at a young age. Further, in maternity care there is a need for national guidelines and individualized care for women with overweight/obesity. Overweight and obese women need to be monitored extra closely during pregnancy and individually assessed for induction of labor versus close monitoring at term, in consultation with the woman.
