Journal Title: The Journal of Middle East and North Africa Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
Background: It is well proven that becoming overweight and obese during pregnancy increase complications in mother while delivering and neonates. Objective: Present study is envisaged to understand the correlation between maternal body composition and complications in mother and neonates. Methodology: It is a cross sectional longitudinal prospective study carried out at a tertiary care hospital in Oman among 300 randomly selected pregnant women. Results: Preeclampsia was recorded in 44% of patients and more than 67% of them were having more than one complaint. Maternal BMI, total visceral fat, resting metabolic rate are significantly (p<0.05) impacting neonatal birth weight and APGAR score. Maternal body age is correlated significantly (p<0.05) with birth weight and head circumference. The birth complication cesarean delivery, gestational diabetes, and gestational hypertension are significantly correlated with maternal body age, total body fat, and gestational age. Conclusion: Authors conclude that majority of the pregnant woman in their third trimester suffering from overweight or from high-fat deposition in their bodies are noted to have risks of macrosomia, impaired APGAR score, gestational diabetes, gestational hypertension and undergo cesarean delivery.
