Opis

Pregnancy and childbirth are natural and physiological phenomena, sometimes their evolution can be peppered with pathologies, some of which can jeopardize the maternal, fetal and neonatal prognosis. We conducted a retrospective descriptive study to determine the prevalence of macrosomia in the maternity ward of the Bumi Reference Health Centre from 1 January 2019 to 30 June 2020. Out of 458 deliveries, there were 453 non-macrosomic newborns or 98.91% against 5 macrosomic newborns or a frequency of 1.09% ; The male sex is more concerned by macrosomia with 3 cases or 60%; Diabetes is at the root of macrosomia deliveries and represents 4 cases out of 5, i.e. a frequency of 80%. Among the complications, we found a high frequency of delivery haemorrhage among the babies with 2 cases out of 5, i.e. 40%.Our study shows that macrosomia is frequent in our environment. The regular participation of pregnant women in prenatal consultations allows for early detection in order to adopt a course of action for a delivery with less risk.
