Weight gain during pregnancy causes a significant amount of adverse effect on the maternal and fetal outcome. The purpose of this study is to understand the effect of weight gain during pregnancy on pregnancy complications, unexpected cesarean section and neonatal outcomes. A retrospective study was conducted with participant data obtained from a tertiary medical center's maternal ward in the northern part of the country from January 2010 to December 2014.

The study results showed a direct relationship between body mass index (BMI) and unexpected cesarean section rate. At different trimesters, the risk hazard of unexpected cesarean section is 1.79 in obese patients compared to normal weighted patients (χ2=6.301, p<0.05). The most common causes of unexpected cesarean section includes fetal distress (p=0.03) and dysfunctional labor (p
