Yes it seems odd how the medical community (and American patients in general) don’t really want to talk about obesity anymore. Being obese and carrying a baby to term is risky. Everything is much more complicated. I do wonder if they make the BMI of mothers available in a publicly available dataset somewhere, it would be interesting to test your hypothesis.

Body mass index (BMI), a proxy for obesity, is a relevant statistic in almost every wellness exam. https://www.cdc.gov/obesity/index.html https://www.cdc.gov/obesity/index.html https://health.gov/healthypeople/objectives-and-data/browse-objectives/overweight-and-obesity https://health.gov/healthypeople/objectives-and-data/browse-... The hottest new medicine is a medicine that reduces obesity.
