BACKGROUNDHypertension in pregnancy not only affects the mother adversely, but also the new-born babies. Hypertension is one of the most common medical disorders complicating pregnancy. The World Health Organisation (WHO) systematically reviews maternal mortality worldwide and in developed countries; 16 percent of maternal deaths were reported to be due to hypertensive disorders (Khan, 2006). This proportion is greater than three other leading causes that include haemorrhage-13 percent, abortion-8 percent and sepsis-2 percent. Aims and Objectives-In this study, we intend to determine the adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes of hypertensive mothers and their new-born babies.
