Summary
Brief summary
Currently in Australia about one in five babies are delivered by Caesarean section. An increasing number of mothers having Caesarean section have increased body size. Body size is calculated from a person’s height and weight and is called BMI for body mass index. BMI is used to estimate if a person is underweight, ideal weight, overweight or obese. There is only limited information on how increased BMI affects the care for women having a Caesarean section and their babies. We plan to look at the relationship between a mother’s BMI, and how long her Caesarean section takes and whether her size is associated with complications for her or her baby after the Caesarean section. We hope this work will help plan for even better care for women having babies.
