Pak J Med Health Sci Jan ;13(1):352-3.

Aim: To determine frequency of perinatal outcome in normo-tensive second pregnancy in women having early onset pre-eclampsia during first pregnancy. Methods: A total number of one hundred and ten (110) pregnant females having age 16-40 years and normotensive second pregnancy (with singleton pregnancy and having early onset preeclampsia) were included. Woman were admitted and monitored till delivery. The pregnancy outcome was evaluated under supervision of consultant gynecologist. Outcome variables i.e., small for gestational age (SGA), large for gestational age (LGA), preterm delivery and cesarean section were noted. Results: The mean age was 28.46+/-4.43 years. Mean body mass index (BMI) was 23.22+/-3.68 Kg/m2. Mean gestational age at the time of delivery was 38.93+/-2.74 weeks. Regarding outcomes of normotensive second pregnancy after first hypertensive pregnancy, there were 18 (16.36%) neonates who were SGA, 13(11.80%) were LGA, cesarean section was done for 17 (15.45%) deliveries, and pre-term birth occurred in 14(12.72%) females. Conclusion: In present study, there were 16.36% neonates who were SGA, 11.80% were LGA, cesarean section was done in 12.72% deliveries, and pre-term birth occurred in 15.75% cases in females with normotensive second pregnancy in women having early onset preeclampsia in first pregnancy.
