ARTICLE: Obesity may raise the risk of stillbirth From: Hope (anonymous@obgyn.net) Sat, 15 Sep 2007 11:58:10 -0500 (CDT) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: STANNCIE: "SEXUALTY: my cat tested positive for toxoplasmosis" Previous message: Amy Rosenman, M.D.: "Re: ONCOLOGY: Bladder paralysis after Wertheimer" Obesity may raise the risk of stillbirth Reuters Health Thursday, September 13, 2007 "NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Obese pregnant women may have an increased risk of losing their baby relatively late in pregnancy, and black women appear particularly at risk, a large study suggests. Researchers found that obese women were 40 percent more likely than normal-weight and overweight women to have their pregnancy end in stillbirth -- defined as fetal death in the 20th week of pregnancy or later. African-American women were especially at risk. Compared with obese white women, their rate of stillbirth was 90 percent higher, the study authors report in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology." http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/news/fullstory_54757.html Best Regards, Hope, WH Forum Moderator http://www.obgyn.net/women/women.asp?page=/women/advisors/advisors http://www.obgyn.net/women/women.asp?page=/women/advisors/advisors-2 Next message: STANNCIE: "SEXUALTY: my cat tested positive for toxoplasmosis" Previous message: Amy Rosenman, M.D.: "Re: ONCOLOGY: Bladder paralysis after Wertheimer"
