New maternal and newborn health research conducted by the
University Hospital Virgen de las Nieves in Granada has shown that obese and
underweight females can encounter problems both during pregnancy and once their
child is born. Published in the Journal of Maternal-Fetal and Neonatal
Medicine, the findings indicate that overweight ladies are at risk of
developing diabetes mellitus and hypertension. Meanwhile, those deemed to be
too thin are prone to oligohydramnios - which is a reduction in the amount of
amniotic liquid. Their children are also likely to be underweight.
