Popis: Background: Globally, overweight and obesity are the common risk factors with increasing frequency for adverse fetomaternal outcomes. In resource-poor countries, it is emerging as a threat for favorable pregnancy outcome even with the prevalence of high hunger index. Aims and Objectives: This study aims to determine the impact of obesity and overweight in pregnancy on fetomaternal outcomes in comparison to normal weight mothers. Materials and Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted in a tertiary care center for 1½ years with singleton term pregnancies and 64 mothers with body mass index (BMI) ≥25 kg/m2 (cases) were compared with 64 normal weight mothers with BMI 18.5–24.9 kg/m2 (controls).
