Work Design: A descriptive cross-sectional study. Location and Time: The study was held in the gynecology and obstetrics department Unit I of services Hospital, Lahore for the period of one year from December 2016 to December 2017. Methodology: All cases involving pregnant women and pregnant women were included in the questionnaires, the attendant doctors, past records of pregnancy outcomes, necessary laboratory research reports, and interviews with demographic data. Results: The frequency of adverse pregnancy outcomes was 15.44%. Antepartum hemorrhage was the most common (36.17%); Eclampsia was the second most frequently reported event (29.79%). Maternal age did not show statistical significance (p = 0.06); (p = 0,05), rural residence (p = 0,03), race (0,05) and work status (0,02) were statistically related while low socioeconomic status was strongly correlated with negative pregnancy outcomes (p = 0.05). p = 0.001). Conclusion: Antepartum bleeding was associated with eclampsia, clogged appetite, and premature ejaculation, as well as a frequently reported gestation. Socio-demographic characteristics of the mother, such as low education level, rural settlement, low socioeconomic status and employment status of women, have been associated with these negative pregnancy outcomes.
