Fetoplacental weight ratio is defined as fetal weight divided by placental weight. This ratio varies according to gestational age and depends on various disorders complicating pregnancy. This study was done in Government Maternity Hospital, Sultan bazaar, Hyderabad on 120 term patients between January 2016 to March 2016. After preliminary examination and investigations, patients were divided into 3 groups: normotensive (Group A), gestational hypertension (Group B), preeclampsia and eclampsia (Group C). Fetal weight and Placental weight was recorded on all these patients and Fetoplacental (F:P) ratio was calculated. This study aims to find out the change in F:P weight ratio in hypertensive disorders of pregnancies. This study concludes that mean weight of both fetus and placenta are both reduced and hence F:P ratio is constant even in hypertensive disorders.
