This study, like any other observational study of its kind, suffers from several limitations. Firstly, the ideal time to record the baseline height and weight of a pregnant woman is before she has started gaining weight due to gestation taking into consideration that pre-pregnancy weight was known from the patients own words and history taking. Secondly, our study used data collected over 7 months; a short duration which should be extended in later studies and researches to show the longstanding impact of obesity on the patient .The third limitation was the lack of standard definitions of overweight and obesity which makes comparison of findings across studies difficult.
