Abstract
Obesity is an important public health issue not only in the general population, but also among pregnant women. Maternal obesity is associated with potential risks and complications for both the mother and the fetus. In this review, an update on the reproductive risks of maternal obesity and the role of pre-conception counselling are presented.
