The placenta functions diversely to support the growth of the foetus, interacts with the two individuals, the mother and the developing foetus. Pre-eclampsia and eclampsia leads to various changes in the placenta and its ratio with baby weight with the consequent affection of the fetus. Objective: Comparison of fetoplacenta ratio in normal pregnancy and PIH and it's association with fetal wellbeing. Subjects: The sample was 60 women taken from labor unit; 30 women were normal pregnancy and take code number (1). Other 30 women were pregnancy with PIH and take code number (2). Tools: The tools used in data collection were (Interviewing questionnaire, Anthropometric measurement sheet and Apgar scoring sheet). Results: the mean of placental weight was within normal in both groups (1,2) and there was a slight increase in the mean placenta weight in women with PIH group (2) (608.3±53.5 gm) compared to (508.3±102.6 gm) in normal pregnancy group (1). The mean weight of babies in group (1) was 2783.3 ±477.1 gm. Compared to (3066 ±402.5 gm) in group (2). Also there was slight increase in fetoplacental ratio in normal pregnancy group (p<0.05*) . The babies of group one showed higher Apgar scores in 1st and 5th minute of delivery than babies of group two.
