According to a new medical study, the use of Ultrasound can be the optimum solution to identify the risks for obese motherhood. as per findings from the prestigious University of Sydney, there is a specific "type" of body fat which bodes more risk to mothers, as well as their unborn babies. The findings identified and recommend the use of ultrasound to correctly assess fat thickness around the abdomen (subcutaneous fat) as a means to identify dangerous fat.

Professor Ralph Nanan recently wrote in Obstetric Magazine that ultrasound could be the most precise way of identifying if stomach fat could indicate dangerous fat around the bodily organs.

The study (Australian New Zealand Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology) saw a joint research initiative from the team at University of Sydney and University of Melbourne undertake an analysis of 1200 ultrasound results of expecting women.

Over half Australian pregnant women were either overweight or obese, and the study could shed light on whether this poses harm to themselves and their unborn babies. The distribution of fat across the female body is being considered as a key indicator of health risks related to body weight. It is "visceral fat", i.e. fat around the inner organs that presents more health risks than fat surrounding the bodily extremities.
