Data is presented as mean ± SD, two tailed paired Student’s t-test. Foetal sex was calculated by assuming female is zero and male is one. Mode of delivery was calculated by assuming SVD is zero, assisted c/s is one, and primary c/s is two. BMI, Body mass index; sBP- Systolic blood pressure; dBP, Diastolic blood pressure; SVD, spontaneous vaginal delivery; c/s, caesarean section.
