Résumé

Due to the global growth of its prevalence and its impact on patient health, obesity is considered a near-epidemic condition by the World Health Organization (WHO). Its overall prevalence has now reached 17 % in France. The impact of obesity is also a concern for pregnant women, due to the risk of maternal and fetal complications. Obesity increases the risk of cesarean delivery. However, few data are available regarding risk factors for failed attempted vaginal delivery in obese women.
