Obesity (Body Mass Index, BMI>30) is a public health problem that is reaching pandemic level, widespread worldwide and, more specifically, in our country and community (Asturias), where we have some of the highest figures in Europe. This increase in the prevalence of obesity is also reflected in pregnant women, increasing the pathology in the obstetric process and with consequences for the newborn. This book develops a project to know the real extent of this problem and its consequences. The universality of the problem and its tendency to increase, as well as the repercussions on the health of women and their offspring, make it a subject of great interest for study, whose conclusions can be useful in clinical practice, being able to modify actions in the prevention and treatment of obesity before and during pregnancy; as well as for research, because there will be gaps in knowledge, and in the teaching field, in the specialties of Obstetrics and Gynecology of nursing and medicine.
