CLINICAL-MORPHOLOGIC CAUSES OF FETAL HYPOXIA IN PREGNANT WOMEN WITH OBESITY

The analysis of gestational and neonatal period is conducted in 100 pregnants with obesity (basic group) and 30 pregnants with normal weight (control group).

The pregnancy and births in women with obesity was complicated as compared to the control group by a threatening abortion (33 %), preeclampsia (70 %), by the intrauterine growth restriction of fetus (IUGR) (23 %), fetal macrosomia (12 %), fetal hypoxia in 28 % cases, by the hypotonic dysfunction of labor. Cesarean section was performed in 29 % of cases in a basic group as against 6.7 % in the control. Infectious complications of the postpartum period (endometritis, seroma) were observed in a basic group only. There were complications of the adaptation period of newborn in every third case, neonatal death — in 3 cases in a basic group.
