Materials and Methods: The study was a prospective study with a sample size of 400 antenatal patients attending OPD and emergency ward. After taking consent, these patients were randomly selected for the study. Results: The prevelance of thyroid disorders in our study was 12.5%.with subclinical hypothyroidism (7%), overt hypothyroidism (4%),subclinical hyperthyroidism (1%),overt hyper(0.5%).In our study subclinical hypothyroidism was associated with complications like PE(10.7%), AP(3.57%), PTD(10.7%), Severe Anemia (25%), IUGR (3.75%), LBW(10.75%).Overt hypothyroidism was associated with PE(18.7%), AP (6.25%), PTD (12.5%), Severe Anemia (31.25%), IUGR (12.5%), LBW(18.7%). Conclusion: Prevelance of thyroid disorders especially subclinical hypothyroidism and overt hypothyroidism was high.
