Pregnancy outcome in underweight mothers

Abstract

There was no statistically significant difference in the occurrence of antenatal complications (GDM, PE, Anaemia, APH) between the two groups. A ststistically significant association was found between the BMI and the vaginal delivery. Low maternal body mass index is associated with increased prevalence of pre-term delivery and low birth weight, while antenatal complication rate was statistically not different between the two groups.
