The impact of maternal obesity on vascular and metabolic function throughout pregnancy

The impact of maternal obesity on vascular and metabolic function throughout pregnancy

Maternal obesity increases the risk of numerous maternal and fetal complications of pregnancy. Women were recruited at booking for antenatal care. Each subject was examined in the first, Second and third trimester of pregnancy as well as twelve weeks post partum. Using non invasive techniques microv...
