Method– It was a hospital based clinical study. It was a cross sectional study. 170 cases were studied. Patients were followed till delivery to study the maternal, fetal and neonatal outcome.

Result– Incidence of jaundice was 0.68% per year. Both maternal and fetal complications are very high with jaundice in pregnancy.

Conclusion– Jaundice in pregnancy is a grave combination. It affects both fetal and maternal outcome. The most common cause of jaundice was viral hepatitis. Viral hepatitis due to HEV has grave prognosis. There is a high risk of preterm delivery, fetal distress and IUFD. Early diagnosis and timely management of pregnancy at tertiary care center helps in reducing maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality.
