As if the problems already known and suffered by women who are obese or overweight, more evidence emerges against female obesity. Women who are obese or overweight, if they become pregnant are at risk of having a long labor, which can bring problems to the fetus and increases the need for a cesarean delivery.

The work, which was conducted by researchers at the University of North Carolina and funded by the U.S. government showed that the labor of women obese takes on average 30% more than women of normal weight. A pregnant woman with an overweight brings not only an increase of the typical problems of pregnancy but also increases the chance of diseases such as gestational diabetes and preeclampsia.

The researchers followed more than six hundred women in their first pregnancy to study why obese women had a higher incidence of caesarean section. The advice of doctors to women who wish to become pregnant and are overweight or obese is to seek expert guidance to lose weight.

This guidance is essential to avoid the use of diets that promote weight loss, but lead to compromised nutritional status of women.
This work should serve as a warning to all young women, it is known that the percentage of unplanned pregnancies up to 50%.
