Abstract
A prospective, randomized study was designed to study and correlate the pre-pregnancy BMI with the various obstetric outcomes like abortions, duration of the pregnancy, onset of labour, mode of delivery and intrapartum and postpartum complications. The Present study focuses on to correlate the pre-pregnancy BMI with the neonatal outcomes like baby weight, APGAR scores and admission of the baby to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
