Abstract

Pregnancy, also known as gravidity or gestation places additional physical and emotional stress on a woman’s body. Health problems that occur before a woman becomes pregnant or during pregnancy may also increase the likelihood for a high-risk pregnancy. High risk pregnancy may cause severe detrimental effects on mother and fetus leading to increased morbidity and mortality. The objectives is to determine the perinatal outcome of high risk pregnancy and to associate the findings with high risk conditions .This is a cross sectional study conducted at RGGWCH, Puducherry. Convenient sampling technique was used to select 60 samples for the study. The data was collected with structured questionnaire containing demographic, obstetrical and neonatal variables. Mean, SD and Chi square was used. Results shows that among 60 high risk mother majority 26(36.61%) had anemia, 25(35.21%) had PIH and 10(14.08%) had gestational diabetes. Regarding the perinatal outcome, most of the babies, 44(73.3%) had birth weight more than 2.5 kg with the mean birth weight of 2.68±0.63, 45(98.3%) had APGAR greater than 7. The neonatal mortality reported in this study was about only 1.7%. The association of birth weight and APGAR score with high risk pregnancy &
