Morphometric parameters like shape, weight, thickness and calcifications are noted. Results- The morphometric parameters like weight, and thickness are significantly low in pregnancies complicated by hypertension than normal pregnancies. Calcifications in study group are more. Conclusion- Placenta in pregnancies complicated by hypertension are found to have significantly low weight, diameter, thickness and they found to have more calcifications which directly influence the outcome of pregnancy
