Background: Obesity in pregnancy is a growing public health concern associated with adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. This study aims to delve into the specific subset of obese women with a Body Mass Index (BMI) ranging from 30 to 35, examining the nuanced impact on both maternal and fetal health. Understanding the intricacies of this population is crucial for tailored interventions and improved outcomes. Aim: The primary objective of this research is to comprehensively explore and analyze fetal and maternal outcomes in women with a BMI between 30 and 35 during pregnancy. By elucidating the specific challenges and risks faced by this demographic, we aim to contribute valuable insights to the existing body of knowledge surrounding obesity in pregnancy. Methods: This prospective cohort study involves a meticulous analysis of medical records, prenatal assessments, and delivery outcomes of obese women with a BMI between 30 and 35. A multidisciplinary approach will be employed, encompassing obstetrics, endocrinology, and neonatology perspectives. Data will be collected from diverse healthcare settings, ensuring a representative sample, and statistical analyses will be employed to identify significant associations and trends. Results: Preliminary findings reveal a range of outcomes, including but not limited to gestational diabetes, hypertensive disorders, cesarean section rates, neonatal birth weight, and developmental milestones. By stratifying results based on BMI within the obese range, we aim to discern patterns that may guide personalized care for pregnant women in this specific weight category. Conclusion: Our study sheds light on the complex interplay between maternal obesity (BMI 30-35) and fetal outcomes, providing valuable insights for clinicians, researchers, and policy-makers. The findings may inform targeted interventions, antenatal care strategies, and public health initiatives aimed at mitigating the risks associated with obesity in pregnancy. Future research directions may involve long-term follow-up to assess the impact on childhood health and development.
