Abstract
This is a case report of extreme obesity in pregnancy where the foetus died in utero and the mother developed life threatening acute respiratory distress. Her life was saved by urgent ventilatory support and other care at the intensive treatment unit at ILS Hospital. The dead foetus with placenta and membranes were delivered normally. She went home in good health. The paper quotes publications on maternal and foetal risks in extreme obesity in pregnancy. The paper also refers to the international committees who framed guidelines towards management of obesity in the population before, during and after pregnancy.
Keywords: Obesity in pregnancy, Bariatric surgery, Obstetrics complication.
