“…Regardless of whether considering fertility, pregnancy outcomes, or the long‐term health of the mother and child, there is strong evidence of increased risks of adverse outcome where the mother has obesity prior to conception . It may be ideal for a woman to enter pregnancy at a “normal” weight (BMI 18.5 to <25.0 kg/m 2 ), but currently almost half of women have overweight or obesity when they conceive . Whilst acknowledging that the evidence regarding pre‐pregnancy weight management is incomplete and would benefit from the addition of large well‐designed randomised controlled trials, it is imperative that the available evidence is clearly summarised and clinical decisions are guided by this evidence.…”

The prevalence of women of child-bearing age with obesity continues to rise at an alarming rate. This has significant implications for both the short-term and longterm health of mother and offspring. Given the paucity of evidence-based literature in this field, the preconception management of women with obesity is highly variable both between institutions and around the world. This systematic review aims to evaluate studies that inform us about the role of preconception weight loss in the fertility and pregnancy outcomes of women with obesity. Current therapeutic interventions are discussed, with a specific focus on the suitability of weight loss interventions for women with obesity planning pregnancy. There are significant knowledge gaps in the current literature; these are discussed and areas for future research are explored.
