The majority of women in the US will experience a pregnancy in their lifetime. Unfortunately, the treatment of obesity is, too often, not considered when preparing for and managing pregnancy or the postpartum period. In this lecture, we will discuss obesity treatment at various stages of a women’s reproductive life cycle. We will explore the importance of obesity management at each stage and provide key recommendations. We will discuss unique medication considerations, appropriate nutrition strategies, exercise guidelines, and special behavior change considerations. Participants will be able to apply practical strategies to treat women who are preparing for pregnancy, are pregnant, or are postpartum.
