Abstract

Obesity has become a growing pandemic with a significant increase in incidence in recent years. The complications associated with pregnancy in obese patients can lead to increased morbidity and mortality in pregnant women. A 41-year-old morbidly obese female with primary hypertension and 32.4 weeks pregnant, presented with severe oligohydramnios, breech presentation, and a history of previous lower segment cesarean section (LSCS). The patient experienced abdominal pain, lower backache, and leaking per vaginal, and a decision was made to perform LSCS. Challenges were encountered during the procedure related to anesthesia management and the need for specialized equipment and additional assistants. A multidisciplinary approach was chosen for managing this patient with the special role of anesthetists. Intra-operative and post-operative management was crucial for a successful recovery. Obesity during pregnancy presents unique challenges for healthcare providers, and it is necessary to increase resources and prepare skilfully to manage these patients effectively.
