Overweight is associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular and metabolic disease. Pregnancy in obese women frequently results in an increased incidence of maternal complications (gestational diabetes, hypertension, toxemia) and adverse perinatal outcome (macrosomia, perinatal mortality). ⋯ The incidence of intrauterine growth retardation is not increased in obese pregnancy. A successful obstetrical outcome may be achievable through multidisciplinary antenatal management.

Chronic pelvic pains are one of the most frequent complaints in our daily gynecological practice, motivating at least a quarter of our consultants. As it usually puts the practitioner ill at ease in a difficult situation, we will try to understand the meaning of those particular pains, thus defined: a duration outlasting 6 months and the absence or the ineffective suppression of any organic--somatic--substratum. But every alleged pain is real and true, and we must work on that. To validate such suffering, to accept such repetitive complaints, can also be a therapeutic medical approach, even if it is less gratifying for the gynecologist, and certainly less customary.
