"Such a task mentioned above is a set-up for monotonous reading. This text is anything but that! Indeed, I became "lost"in reading enjoyment. A search review found only one other title with a similar focus. Core texts, such as
Williams Obstetrics, 25th edition, Cunningham et al. (McGraw Hill, 2018) necessarily only provide an overview of obesity and its impact on pregnancy. This book provides marvelous insight as a resource for the challenges of obesity in pregnancy. As a clinician who supervises a large university clinic for gestational and overt diabetes in pregnancy, I welcome this book into my library."—Doody Reviews
"This book is extremely useful to OB-GYNs on a daily basis. Obesity is a growing epidemic and we see these patients with increasing frequency. Every aspect of OB-GYN is covered in this book with relationship to obesity and I anticipate that a provider will use this book several times per day. There are no other well-known books that specifically evaluate the effects of obesity in so many aspects of OB-GYN. This is an evolving topic and further editions are certain to be desperately needed."—Doody
