After getting approval from the authority, we selected our study participants by a purposive sampling technique and maintaining inclusion criteria.

The study observed in group I (44%) have normal BMI, in group II (35.2%) have lean BMI, in group III (15.4%) have over weight BMI and group IV (5.5%) have obese BMI. Birth weight <2.5 in group-II. Neonate complications was highest in group –I & group-II. The new born term babies’ outcome status is much higher than preterm babies in all the four groups.
