Underweight (BMI< 20kg/m2) , normal (BMI 20-25 kg/m2), overweight (BMI 25-30 kg/m2), and obese BMI >30 kg/m2. Obstetric Outcome compared by univariate and multivariate analysis. Results: Maximum no. of patients who underwent L.S.C.S ( 40%) were having B.M.I > 30 kg/m2. L.S.C.S. with C.P.D, Postdatism and post – L.S.C.S wound infection was maximum (44%),(32%) and (22%) for B.M.I > 30 kg/m2. Maximum no. of patients with Pre- eclampsia (38%) were having BM.I. between 25-29.9 kg/m2.
