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.
