Obese women face the risk of having miscarriages and giving birth to malformed babies endangering the health of their unborn, a new Australian study has revealed.

One in four babies born to obese women weighed more than 4kg and their weight - and that of their mothers - could cause problems during the birth, according to Zuschman.
Zuschman explained that the shoulders of large babies could get stuck in the birth canal, brining about a dip in the baby's oxygen levels and leaving them with injuries or nerve problems.
"Women in this body mass index category[greater than 30kg/m2] really should be meeting their family doctor before they become pregnant and discussing all of these implications," news.com.au quoted Zuschman, as saying.
