Summary
Offspring from overweight or obese mothers appear to be at up to 38% increased risk of being admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit than the offspring of mothers with a normal BMI. In terms of Apgar scores at birth, babies of obese mothers have been reported to have a 31% excess risk of having a low Apgar score (defined at \<7 at 1 minute) . Infants born to obese mothers demonstrate a spectrum of outcomes, suggesting that there is a complex interplay of factors that defines the precise altered metabolic environment to which the fetus is exposed and that determines the risk of complications
