Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 10
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 75 women in each group including normal, high and low maternal BMI. Result- The average weight gain during pregnancy was 7.40 kg in overweight category, 8.32 kg in normal weight category and 6.41 kg in underweight category. Incidence of preterm deliveries was almost equal in all categories. Postpartum complications like PPH were insignificantly higher in overweight category. Cesarean section wound infection rate was significantly more in overweight group thereby increasing the hospital stay and morbidity. 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.
