AIM: To determine the knowledge base of midwife lead maternity carers (LMCs) and explore their adjustments in practice for obese women.
MATERIALS & METHODS: A nationwide cohort study of LMC midwives in New Zealand concerning obesity in pregnancy using an electronic survey.
RESULTS: A total of 428 LMCs responded. Most respondents were aware of the risks of obesity during pregnancy. Midwives felt it was important to provide customized care. Various barriers to accessing support for obese women within the health system were identified. Discussing weight and obesity was acknowledged as a sensitive issue for both the woman and the midwife.
CONCLUSION: This study highlights the need to improve access to and availability of supportive maternity services and resources for pregnant women with increased BMI.
