Abstract

The Polycystic ovarian syndrome affects 6-15 % of reproductive age women worldwide. And recently the changing life styles and rising obesity worldwide have contributed to a rise in the incidence of PCOS. Though there are many issues with PCOS post conception. PCOS women are at increased risk of early pregnancy loss which is approx. three fold as compared to the women without PCOS. After successfully crossing the first trimester, they are at risk of developing pre- eclampsia, GDM, preterm birth and birth of small for gestational age infant. Also higher incidence of multiple pregnancies is there and the risks associated with them. All these leading to higher rate of c -section delivery. So, proper understanding of these risks, informing and counseling the patients regarding them facilitate closer maternal and fetal surveillance and help improving the outcome of pregnancy.
