We found no evidence of significantly increased risk associated with planning birth in an AMU for carefully selected multiparous severely obese women, with BMI 35.1-40kg/m2. Severely obese nulliparous women have a potential increased risk of having a more urgent Caesarean section or severe PPH compared with other women admitted to AMUs.
