The study results indicate a correlation between maternal BMI and antenatal diagnosis of polyhydramnios in pregnancy. Maternal obesity is a growing pandemic that needs to be further investigated and new policies regarding patient care during the antenatal period need to be developed. Further research on possible etiologies for increased antenatal diagnosis of polyhydramnios in obese patients is needed.
