Objective of the study is to examine the correlation between the maternal BMI in IUGR and placental anthropometry. Materials and methods - Present study was conducted in OBG Department of SVS Medical College and hospital in September-2020-march-2021. Total 22 IUGR placental samples collected and compared with normal placenta and BMI correlated in both groups. Results - mean diameter of placenta in IUGR fetuses’ range is 10.66-14.44; weight of placenta is 410.60 grams; hemoglobin level is 9.60 grams in IUGR pregnant women; BMI is 21.86 kg/m2 and gestational age was 35.60 wks
