title: FETAL OUTCOMES AMONG GRAND MULTIPAROUS AND MULTIPAROUS WOMEN IN MULAGO HOSPITAL, UGANDA.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To compare fetal outcomes among grand multiparous (para 5-9) and multiparous (para 2-4) delivering in Mulago hospital, Uganda.
  
  
  METHODS
  Prospective cohort study.
  
  
  METHODS
  Mulago hospital, Uganda.
  
  
  METHODS
  One hundred and fifty six grand multiparous and multiparous women were recruited on admission in labourward and followedup through labour and immediate postpartum period. Fetal outcomes among the two groups were collected and analyzed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The admissions to SCU were similar in the two groups i.e. 11(7%) GMP vs. 11(7%) MP, the number of fresh still births was higher among the grandmultiparas 13(8.3%) GMP vs. 7(4.5%) MP though this was not statistically significant. The fetal weight did not significantly differ in the two groups.
