Hypertension in pregnancy is a high risk situation for both the mother and the fetus. A good antenatal care, control of hypertension and prevention of severe hypertension and eclampsia are essential for the well being of both the mother and the baby . All women with hypertension complicating pregnancy should be advised antenatal check and delivery at a tertiary care centre . This study was conducted on mothers with hypertension in Govt Rajaji Hospital, Madurai during a period of 6 months from February 2017 to July 2017. The study included women with known hypertensive disorder detected preconceptionally and antenatally. A total of 198 patients were included. The incidence, comorbidities, complications, maternal and perinatal outcome were studied. The mean age of the patients was 25 years. 105 patients were primigravida (53%) and 93 were multigravida (47%). Out of 198 patients, 110 patients had non severe PE (55.6%), 32 patients had chronic hypertension (16.2%), 9 patients had severe PE (4.5%), 24 patients had imminent eclampsia (12.1%), 13 patients had antepartum eclampsia (6.6.%), 8 patients had HELLP syndrome (4.1%) and 2 patients had recurrent NSP (1%). Preeclampsia-eclampsia and its variants remain the major cause of hypertension in pregnant women. Hypertension during pregnancy is responsible for high maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality.
