Incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH), preeclampsia, pre term delivery and caesarean section were determined.

The prevalence of GDM was significantly higher in women with PCOS as compared without PCOS group. The prevalence of PIH was two times higher in women with PCOS than that of women without PCOS (31.82% vs. 15.07%; p<0.05). The prevalence of preeclampsia was more among women with PCOS as compared to women without PCOS, but not significant (16.67% vs. 8.22%; p>0.05). The overall risk of pre term delivery was 27.27% in women with PCOS compared to 9.59% in women without PCOS, P<0.01.
