Abstract EN
This prospective study was carried out in Basrah ma¬ternity hospital (Basrali-Iraq) during the eight months of Dec.
1997-Aug.
1998 to study the obstetrical performance and outcome of pregnancy in 20 (>90kg) obese patients compared to 20 non-obese controls.
The incidence of obesity in their infants was also com¬pared.
There was no significant increase in the incidence of urinary tract infection, diabetes, caesarean section and forceps delivery.
There was a significantly increased incidence of hyper¬tensive disorders of pregnancy (P < 0.01 odds ratio 0.33), and also inadequate weight gain (P < 0.01).
Apgar scores and perinatal mortality were not signifi¬-cantly different in the two groups.
