ncreased rates of obesity among pregnant women are a public health concern. Several studies have reported an association
between maternal overweight and obesity and adverse pregnancy outcomes. This study aims to assess the maternal
complications in correlation to early pregnancy high body mass index (BMI) and weight gain during pregnancy in North
Lebanon. A retrospective cohort study was conducted in North Lebanon in five hospitals and health care centers. Data was
collected from 2016-2018. Anthropometric, maternal and fetal health data were obtained from the medical records of 1308
women and their fetuses. Anthropometric data at the beginning of pregnancy and gestational age were collected through two
private clinics and one primary health care center. Socio-demographic and lifestyle data were gathered by a questionnaire
through a telephone call to each woman individually. Maternal and fetal outcomes were compared by univariate, bivariate
and logistics analysis through SPSS 13.0.This study states that in a nearly pregnancy high BMI and weight gain during
pregnancy are associated with high risks of pre-eclampsia (p-value<0.0001), eclampsia (p-value<0.024), c section, gestational
diabetes, induction of labor, hemorrhage and severe hemorrhage (p-value<0.0001), women aged 25-34 years old, smokers
and women with sedentary lifestyle were more likely to undergo complications (p-value<0.0001). Women living in village
had more complications than those who live in cities (p-value<0.0001). Low social level was significantly associated with
maternal complications (p-value<0.0001). Concerning fetal adverse outcomes, a significant association was found between
high maternal BMI, weight gain during pregnancy and marcrosomia (p-value<0.0001).
