This session Provides clinical insights into the complex management of obesity throughout reproductive stages, examining evidence-based approaches for weight optimisation during preconception, fertility treatments, pregnancy, and postpartum periods while balancing maternal-fetal health outcomes.
Key Takeaways:
• Understanding how obesity affects fertility, ovulation, pregnancy complications, and metabolic health, plus strategies for safe preconception weight management and timing interventions to improve conception rates and pregnancy outcomes.
• Navigating appropriate gestational weight gain targets, managing obesity-related pregnancy complications, addressing postpartum weight retention, and safely integrating pharmacological or surgical interventions across different reproductive stages without compromising maternal or infant health.
