Abstract
Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy remain an important cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. It is an idiopathic multisystem disorder specific to pregnancy and the puerperium. How pregnancy incites or aggravates hypertension remains unsolved despite decades of intensive research. Treatment of this disorder remains a challenge even today because the exact etiology is unknown. A detailed history, clinical evaluation and investigations were done for all cases. All patients were followed up until they were discharged from the hospital after delivery. The definition of hypertensive disorders complicating pregnancy as defined by “working group report (2000) on high blood pressure in pregnancy” was taken for the diagnosis. 72.5% of Primigravida delivered beyond 37 weeks of gestation whereas 50% of women in the recurrent group delivered beyond 37 weeks of gestation. Fetal distress included meconium staining of amniotic fluid with or without fetal heart rate decelerations. Elective caesarean sections in the recurrent group were done for 17 cases with the previous caesarean section.
