SEGOVIA VAZQUEZ, María Raquel. Maternal pregnat obesity as a risk factor for the development of fetal macrosomy . Rev. Nac. (Itauguá) [online]. 2014, vol.6, n.1, pp.8-15. ISSN 2072-8174.

Introduction: The risk of macrosomy with a weight = 4000 g is 3.4 times higher in cases of maternal prepregnancy obesity. Objective: To determine the association between the development of fetal macrosomy and a history of maternalprepregnancy obesity in patients treated at the Children´s Center for Maternal and Chair Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Faculty of Medical Sciences, National University of Asuncion, from January to August, 2013. Patients and methods: Case-control design, where the presence of pre-pregnancy obesity and the development of fetal macrosomywere compared. Results: were admitted 249 newborns to the study: 110 cases and 139 controls. The prevalence of macrosomy in the time studied was 3.9%, in obese women was 61.5%. We found significant association between fetal macrosomy and prepregnant obesity (p 0.01) and gestational diabetes (p 0.0007). The body mass index, pre-pregnancy weight andweight gain during pregnancy was statistically different between cases and controls. Cesarean section was the morefrecuent mode of termination of pregnancy and the reason was the cephalopelvic disproportion. Conclusion: the history of prepregnancy maternal obesity was a risk significant factor for the development of fetal macrosomy.
