Fulltext PDFNutritional status of the mother which is reflected by maternal body mass index (early pregnancy) and gestational weight gain is being recognized as one of the most important predictor of the wellbeing of both mother and the developing fetus. Maternal nutrition plays a critical role in fetal growth and development [1].
Fetal programming in utero’ hypothesis suggests that nutritional and environmental conditions during fetal development can have long lasting effects on an individual’s physiology and metabolism, potentially predisposing them to various chronic diseases later in life such as, heart disease, hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus [2].
Recent data suggests that the women with high pre- pregnancy BMI are associated with the increased risk of pre-eclampsia, gestational hypertension, gestational diabetes mellitus, increased rate of caesarean section, postpartum hemorrhage, fetal macrosomia and more intrapartum complications [3-6].
In view of the above facts, the present study was planned in our hospital to study the effect of early gestational body mass index on neonatal and maternal outcome in nulliparous women.
