Outcomes were assessed 42 days postpartum.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Results\u2003The proportion of women with an adverse maternal outcome increased with increasing maternal BMI. Less than one-third of nonoverweight\/nonobese women, 47.2% of overweight women, and 56.0% of obese women experienced an adverse maternal outcome. After controlling for site, maternal age and parity, risks of hypertensive disease\/severe preeclampsia\/eclampsia, cesarean\/assisted delivery, and antibiotic use were higher among women with higher BMIs. Overweight women also had significantly higher risk of perinatal and early neonatal mortality compared with underweight\/normal BMI women. Overweight women had a significantly higher perinatal mortality rate.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Conclusion\u2003High BMI in early pregnancy was associated with increased risk of adverse maternal, perinatal, and neonatal outcomes in rural India and Pakistan. These findings present an opportunity to inform efforts for women to optimize weight prior to conception to improve pregnancy
