The polycystic ovarian syndrome affects 6-15% of reproductive age women worldwide. And recently the changing lifestyles 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, the higher incidence of multiple pregnancies is there and the risks associated with them. All these leading to a higher rate of c-section delivery. So, the proper understanding of these risks, informing and counseling the patients regarding them facilitate closer maternal and fetal surveillance and help to improve the outcome of pregnancy.
