”The population of women giving birth in Ireland is “fat, old and short””

An Irish consultant obstetrician claims that the population of women giving birth in Ireland is "fat, old and short" and claims this is part of the reason doctors are having to do more C sections than usual and they fear being sued.
Many people are outraged by these comments and believe that it's fat shaming but are they only pointing that pregnancy requires women to be in good health?
