Preeclampsia is a multi organ disorder which is significantly associated with maternal and neonatal morbidity, affecting around 5-8% of pregnant women. Acute or chronic intrapartum insufficiency results in antepartum or intrapartum anoxia that may lead to foetal death, Intrauterine growth restriction and or preterm delivery. Neonatal complications occurring in these babies are closely related to the severity of hypertension and proteinuria and the duration of the disease. This was a retrospective observational study. Out of 77 preeclampsia mothers, 74 (96.2%) had live births and 3 (3.8%) had Intra uterine deaths. Out of 74 neonates, 33 neonates (42.8%) were term, 28 neonates (36.3%) were late preterm, 5 neonates (6.4%) were moderate preterm and 11 neonates (14.2%) were early preterm. With increasing maternal complications in preeclampsia there is an increase in neonatal morbidity and mortality. So, the aim of the study is to evaluate neonatal morbidity in mothers with preeclampsia
