Complications ranges from approximately 10-40% in fibroid complicating pregnancy. The objective of the study was to assess obstetric and perinatal outcomes in fibroid complicating pregnancy.Methods: A prospective study was carried out over a period of 01 June 2019-30 October 2020 on 42 women diagnosed with fibroid uterus in pregnancy. The study was conducted in the Obstetrics and Gynaecology department of Sree Balaji Medical College and Hospital, Chennai. Routine basic investigations were done. Ultrasonogram was done at booking visit and during subsequent visits to assess the increase in the size of the fibroid and degeneration and other obstetric complications such as malpresentation and placenta previa.Results: Major proportion was in the younger age group of 25-35 years. Fibroids were more frequent in multigravidae 34 (80.96%), and primigravidae were 8 (19.04%). The reported incidence of fibroid in pregnancy ra...

Bad Obstetric History implies previous unfavorable fetal outcome in terms of two or more consecutive spontaneous abortion, H/O intrauterine fetal death, intrauterine growth restriction, stillbirth, early neonatal death and/or congenital anomalies. Age, obesity and high parity have been shown to be independent risk factors for recurrent pregnancy loss and stillbirths. About 3 to 10% of pregnancies are complicated by glycemic control abnormalities. The main underlying cause is lethal embryonic malformations due to glucose teratogenicity at high levels if diabetes is poorly controlled in the periconceptional period and first trimester.
