Since operations are performed during women's reproductive years, the number of pregnant women with prior bariatric surgery is increasing. Bariatric surgery results in restriction of food intake and\/or malabsorption leading to weight loss, but may induce a risk for malnutrition and pregnancy complications.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Method<\/jats:title><jats:p>Systematically conducted review addressing pregnancy after bariatric surgery using the PubMed and Cochrane databases.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Main outcome measures<\/jats:title><jats:p>Birthweight, gestational age, birth defects, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes mellitus, and mode of delivery.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>We included 17 articles in English, comparing pregnancies in women with prior bariatric surgery to pregnancies in a control group without this. There was considerable heterogeneity in study design and six of the studies included &lt;50 women with bariatric surgery. Eight studies described lower birthweight and lower risk of macrosomia after bariatric surgery, but in six there was no difference. Five studies indicated a higher risk of small\u2010for\u2010gestational age infants, but only compared with non\u2010obese women or severely obese controls. There was no difference in gestational length. Only one study suggested a higher risk of birth defects after surgery. The maternal risk of preeclampsia and gestational diabetes mellitus was lower after bariatric surgery. Results regarding mode of delivery are conflicting.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Pregnancy after bariatric surgery seems safe but larger studies matching
