Obese women in Ten-Group Classification System group 1 had increased risks of obstetric interventions and maternal complications. There was a gradient of risk for intrapartum cesarean section, with the highest risk for women in obesity classes II and III. No associations between maternal BMI and neonatal outcomes were observed.
