Door openings in British maternity hospitals have increased because of the fat births.

The majority of British maternity units have expanded doorways to take pregnant women with excess weight, wrote on Sunday, 11 January, the newspaper The Daily Mail.
The measure was prompted by the fact that in recent years in Britain has increased significantly the number of pregnant women suffering from obesity. At a national conference of obstetricians, which was held last week in the British Library, the representatives of the leading hospitals, as well as more than 30 maternity units in London recognized that the expanded doorways, on average, by 10 centimeters.
Obstetrician Jo Modder (Jo Modder), public employee stock CEMACH, studying the problems of motherhood, said that in some British hospitals were even cases where women gave birth could not be put to the House - precisely because of the narrow doorways.
The conference became known that the total cost of British hospitals to expand openings, as well as the purchase of special "enhanced" beds that can withstand a weight of up to 250 kilograms, was approximately 50 million pounds sterling (about 72 million U.S. dollars).
According to doctors, nearly 50 percent of births in the UK diagnosed with obesity. A particularly high percentage of fat women giving birth in Liverpool, Glasgow and London. Specialists fund CEMACH diagnosed 'obesity' pregnant when her body weight exceeds 100 kilograms, or if the body mass index (BMI) above 35 (the ratio of weight to the square of height).
