All pregnant women who presented for antenatal checkups from 20 weeks or earlier, with a singleton pregnancy, were included in the study. Details such as comorbidities, total duration of labor, complications during labor, and neonatal complications were included.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>At the first antenatal visit, 16% of mothers were underweight, 51% of mothers were normal weight, and 33% of mothers were overweight or obese. Women with poor weight gain were two times more prone to give birth to a child with low birth weight than those with adequate weight gain. Excess weight gain in pregnancy in women with a normal body mass index (BMI) had an association with the development of pre-eclampsia. The odds of overweight\/obese pregnant women developing gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) were 2.1 times higher than in pregnant women with normal BMI. The odds of pregnant overweight\/obese women undergoing cesarean section were 1.6 times higher than in pregnant women with normal BMI.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Overweight\/obese pregnant women had increased odds of developing GDM and undergoing a cesarean section. Excess weight gain was also seen in overweight\/obese women. It is therefore important for physicians to educate women on acceptable weight gain during their pregnancy.<\/jats:p>\n
