Background and Objectives: To investigate the connection between early pregnancy BMI and maternal issues. To determine the connection between birth outcomes and BMI during the early stages of pregnancy. to investigate the effect of BMI during early pregnancy on the newborn's outcome. To evaluate the connection between early pregnancy BMI and gestational weight increase. To evaluate the risk of adverse outcomes for both the mother and the foetus in women with high BMIs. Method: A prospective observational study was conducted between May 2023 to April 2024, involving 150 pregnant women with singleton, uncomplicated pregnancies who were scheduled at the Rangaraya Medical College, Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh, India, between the first 12 weeks of gestation. Result: The table above displays the distribution of frequency and percentage. 54.9% of the people had BMIs that were normal. Of the participants, 28% were overweight. 12.8% of people were obese. Women who were underweight made up 16.8% of the population. Obese patients (35.7%) and women with normal BMI (0.9%) had the highest prevalence of Preeclmpsia. chi-square analysis is used. There was a significant correlation (X 2 = 14.73, p 0.01) between preelampsia and BMI. Obesity women had a higher percentage of LGA children than women with a normal BMI. Babies with SGA were born into underweight mothers. Chi-square research was carried out. The BMI and birth weight had a significant correlation. (p<0.001, X2 = 38.598). Conclusion: In this study, there was a clear correlation between BMI and maternal outcomes. Maternities who were underweight experienced reduced fluid volume, anaemia, low Apgar scores, and an increased incidence of caesarean sections. Obese and overweight women were more likely to experience PPROM, increased liquor Volume, gestational diabetes, pregnancy-induced hypertension, instrumental births, caesarean sections, postpartum complications like haemorrhage and delayed wound healing, and low Apgar scores in their LGA babies. Women who were underweight gained the least weight, while those who were overweight or obese gained the most. Additionally, the relative risk of different pregnancy outcomes in patients with high and low BMIs was evaluated and supported. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
