Prevalence of maternal pre-pregnancy obesity increased in both immigrant and non-immigrant women from 2016 to 2021. Several immigrant subgroups displayed a considerably elevated obesity prevalence, placing them at high risk for adverse obesity-related pregnancy outcomes. Particular attention should be directed towards women from "Sub-Saharan Africa", as their obesity prevalence more than doubled with longer residence.
