Labor Takes Longer For Overweight And Obese Women, Study Finds

I have a BMI of 28. I'll be sure not to lose any weight before having any
more children, because with my three hour labours I might end up giving
birth in a car! Thanks for the tip.

Labor Takes Longer For Overweight And Obese Women, Study Finds
Pregnant women who are overweight or obese progress through labor more
slowly than do normal weight women, according to a study by researchers at
the University of North Carolina and the National Institute of Child
Health
and Human Development of the National Institutes of Health.
