Hispanic Women and Pregnancy:
Cultural Factors and Predisposition Hispanic women have the second highest rate of obesity in the U.S. population at 76% (BabyCenter, 2011). Cultural factors that contribute to obesity among Hispanic women include unhealthy diets, lack of exercise, and acceptance of larger body types.
During pregnancy, obesity can cause serious complications that include labor and delivery complications, birth defects, fetal and neonatal death, and delivery of a large baby (BabyCenter, 2011). Overweight pregnant women also run a greater risk of developing high blood pressure with swelling in the hands and feet (preeclampsia), and high sugar levels in the blood stream while pregnant (gestational diabetes). Hispanic women are more likely to develop pregnancy complications if overweight with a family history of high sugar levels in the blood stream (diabetes) or high blood pressure (BabyCenter, 2011).
Preeclampsia: Preeclampsia is the most common complication of pregnancy. Preeclampsia is characterized by high blood pressure, protein in the urine, and increased swelling of the arms, hands, legs, and feet after 20 weeks of pregnancy. Preeclampsia is seen more often in teenagers and in women over 35 years of age (Ladewig, London, & Olds, 1998).
Gestational Diabetes: Gestational diabetes is high blood sugar levels in the blood stream that has its onset or is first recognized during pregnancy (Ladewig, London, & Olds, 1998). If pregnant women have high of blood sugar, there is an increased risk that the baby will be born too large, have an increased risk for birth defects, or be stillborn. About nine percent of overweight women develop high blood sugar during pregnancy, with a higher incidence among Hispanic women.
