Abstract
Background- The prevalence of obesity is increasing steadily even in developing countries as economic prosperity has increased. In developing countries like India, overweight and obesity often co-exist with undernutrition. Methods- Hospital based prospective comparative study was conducted on 75 women in each group including normal, high and low maternal BMI. Result- The average weight gain during pregnancy was 7.36 kg in overweight category, 8.45 kg in normal weight category and 6.46 kg in underweight category. Postpartum complications like PPH were insignificantly higher in overweight category. 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.
