Background: The objective of this study is to find out the incidence and foetomaternal outcome of Rh negative women during pregnancy.Methods: In the study group, the labor was monitored carefully and the mode of delivery and the outcome of labor was studied in detail. Baby was thoroughly examined for any obvious congenital anomaly, weight, sex and condition was also noted particularly for hydrops. If neonate was Rh positive, then the mother was given postpartum immunoprophylaxis within 24 hours of delivery. The new born were followed for 3 days and were watched for the development of Jaundice. Mothers were advised to attend postnatal clinic for check-up after 6 weeks of delivery.Results: Blood group distribution of newborn: 37 were Rh positive and 18 were Rh negative. Raised Rh antibody titre was not found in any of the 55 cases. Maximum cases 47 delivered at 38-40 weeks, 2 cases delivered after 40 weeks and 6 patients delivered between 30-38 weeks. Maximum cases 37 delivered normally, 12 required cesarean section and 2 had forceps delivery. The babies who developed NNHB were managed either by sunrays exposure only or by phototherapy. The babies who had anemia immediately after birth were carefully monitored and considered for exchange transfusion.Conclusions: Tremendous advances in the medical services and technology during the last few decades have revolutionized the treatment of Rh disease. Various studies have been conducted and several are going on the in this field to achieve zero incidence of this disease.

PPH, PET/E etc. which require intensive obstetric care by specially trained providers and the other set of complications are multi organ involvement which require care of intensivist and super specialist such as nephrology, neurology, cardiology, pulmonologyetc. So, a high-risk pregnancy (HRP) is one in which the maternal environment or past reproductive performance presents a significant risk to fetal well-being, such as premature birth, small for date infant, full term with retarded growth ABSTRACT Background: It is imperative to find out high risk pregnancy for providing apt care to the needy mother and fetus, so application of risk scoring system helps in pin pointing the at-risk patient and also gives a notion about the prognosis of fetal and maternal wellbeing. This study aims to evaluate the clinical application of risk scoring system in cesarean delivery for identification and management of risk pregnancies appropriately to improve perinatal and maternal morbidity and mortality. Methods: LNMC Bhopal M.P. a tertiary referral centre with approximately 2100 delivery / year and cesarean rate of 33%, serving primarily rural population. This prospective analytical study conducted from July 2017 till June 2018. Focused on the combination of the principal predictors of obstetric outcome taken from the previously published scoring system were applied on 120 cases of unplanned at risk caesarean section and summed up to identify riskpregnancy and its predictive value for maternal and perinatal outcome. Results: It was determined by birth weight, APGAR score, birth asphyxia and NICU admission, Perinatal and maternal morbidity and mortality. Out of 120 caesarean cases 25% grouped in high risk, 58.3% low risk and 16.6%moderate group and their perinatal outcome was compared. 90% and 15% of the high risk and moderate group respectively had high risk neonates. In the high-risk group 2% had neonatal death, while no mortality in low risk cases. Maternal outcome was analysed by HDU admission 3% mothers were admitted in HDU with eclampsia and multi organ failure with one maternal mortality due to HELLP syndrome other recovered well, while one patient left against medical advice due to high expenses. Conclusions: Risk evaluation by simplified scoring system is an easy and economical way to identify high risk pregnancy to provide quick, comprehensive and quality health services to needy mother and neonate at right time, thus help in lowering the perinatal and maternal mortality and morbidity even at PHC level.

Background: The present study was conducted with the objective to assess the spectrum of liver disease in pregnancy, and its course and effect on maternal and fetal outcomes.Methods: The present study was conducted as a prospective follow up study in the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, J. K. Hospital for a period of 1 year. The pregnant women between the ages of 18-35 years presenting with symptoms suggestive of underlying liver disease were selected. Socio demographic details and clinical history was obtained from all the participants and they were subjected to liver function test (LFT). All patients were followed till 2 weeks post-partum period. The maternal and fetal outcomes were noted.Results: The following results were obtained: pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) was the most common cause of abnormal LFT (46.66%), about 57.5% patients delivered at term, 63.3% patients delivered vaginally, mostly cases delivered a term healthy neonate between 2.5-3.0 kg weight with Apgar score >7 at 5 minutes after birth and maternal complications were seen in 10.82% cases.Conclusions: Our study shows that though liver disease is uncommon in Indian pregnant women, but it is associated with high maternal and perinatal morbidity. A high index of suspicion of liver disease, early diagnosis, prompt referral to a higher centre when required, appropriate supportive management, and a proactive policy of early delivery when indicated may improve the maternal and fetal outcomes in pregnant women with liver disease. Thus LFT should be conducted as a routine investigation in all pregnant females during first and second trimester.
