Abstract

The current study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of body mass index on birth

outcome. This study was carried out for the period of 20 th February to 18 th April of 2014,

sample of (50) pregnant women who have been attended maternity teaching hospital in

Sulaimani city, to determine the effect of body mass index on birth outcome, and to

explore association between some socio-demographic and obstetrics characteristics with

outcome of birth. The result shows that there is no significant association between body

mass index and outcome of labor or delivery.

Key Words:

BMI, Birth outcome, Baby outcome
