Is obesity still increasing among pregnant women? Prepregnancy obesity trends in 20 states, 2003-2009.
TLDR
Overall, prepregnancy obesity prevalence continues to increase and varies by race-ethnicity and maternal age and the need to address obesity as a key component of preconception care, particularly among high-risk groups is highlighted.About:

Prenatal exposure to very severe maternal obesity is associated with adverse neuropsychiatric outcomes in children.
Theresia H. Mina,Marius Lahti,Amanda J. Drake,Katri Räikkönen,Helen Minnis,Fiona C. Denison,Jane E. Norman,Rebecca M. Reynolds +7 more
TL;DR: Prenatal maternal very severe obesity remained a significant predictor of child neuropsychiatric problems across multiple scales independent of demographic factors, prenatal factors and maternal concurrent symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Decreased ovarian reserve, dysregulation of mitochondrial biogenesis, and increased lipid peroxidation in female mouse offspring exposed to an obesogenic maternal diet
Catherine E. Aiken,Catherine E. Aiken,Jane L. Tarry-Adkins,Naomi C Penfold,Laura Dearden,Susan E. Ozanne +5 more
TL;DR: Maternal diet plays a central role in determining follicular reserve in adult female offspring, and observations suggest that lipid peroxidation and mitochondrial biogenesis are the key intracellular pathways involved in programming of ovarian reserve.
Journal ArticleDOI
Placental function in maternal obesity.
TL;DR: Understanding of how maternal obesity affects the placenta has expanded, and interventions that specifically target placental function, such as activation of placental adiponectin receptors, may prevent the transmission of metabolic disease from obese women to the next generation.

Developmental programming by maternal obesity in 2015: Outcomes, mechanisms, and potential interventions.
Naomi C Penfold,Susan E. Ozanne +1 more
TL;DR: This review highlights key factors that may mediate programming by maternal obesity, including leptin, insulin, and ghrelin, and explores potential lifestyle and pharmacological interventions in humans and the current state of evidence from animal models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protein expression of fatty acid transporter 2 is polarized to the trophoblast basal plasma membrane and increased in placentas from overweight/obese women.
Susanne Lager,Vanessa I. Ramirez,Francesca Gaccioli,Brian Jang,Thomas Jansson,Theresa L. Powell +5 more
TL;DR: In overweight/obese pregnancies, the increased FATP2 expression could contribute to increased fatty acid delivery to the fetus and while there is no direct data, it is speculated that this could lead accelerated fetal growth or increased fat deposition.

Obesity : preventing and managing the global epidemic : report of a WHO Consulation
TL;DR: The fundamental causes of the obesity epidemic are sedentary lifestyles and high-fat energy-dense diets, both resulting from the profound changes taking place in society and the behavioural patterns of communities as a consequence of increased urbanization and industrialization and the disappearance of traditional lifestyles.

Prevalence of Obesity and Trends in Body Mass Index Among US Children and Adolescents, 1999-2010
TL;DR: The most recent estimates of obesity prevalence in US children and adolescents for 2009-2010 are presented and trend analyses over a 12-year period indicated a significant increase in obesity prevalence between 1999-2000 and 2009- 2010 in males aged 2 through 19 years but not in females.
