Abstract

Background: The increasing prevalence of obesity in young women is a major public health concern. These trends have a major impact on pregnancy outcomes in these women.

Methods: Hospital based prospective comparative study was conducted on 50 women in each group including normal, high and low maternal BMI.

Result: Preeclampsia complicated 16% of overweight pregnancies while it was 2.00% in underweight group and 10.00% in normal weight group. The difference was statistically highly significant (p = 0.01).

Conclusion: Maternal BMI shows strong associations with pregnancy complications.  Attempt should be made to prevent obesity in women of childbearing age and encourage weight loss to attain ideal weight before pregnancy.
