Description

This practical guide equips midwives with the skills and knowledge necessary to support pregnant women living with obesity, from communicating meaningfully about weight through to providing evidence-based information about optimising health and making changes. Beginning with an overview of what living with obesity means for women, this book supports midwives to develop consultation skills and structure their encounters with women for maximum effect.

It presents up-to-date, evidence-based information about the impact of obesity on pregnant women and their unborn babies from conception to birth and beyond.

Chapters on changing health behaviours, nutrition and physical activity explore how to mitigate these risks and optimise health. Including reflective questions and case studies, this book is designed for practising and student midwives looking to develop their personalised care and communication skills.
