Abnormal deliveries occur in 13% of the hospital admitted cases as per the WHO report published in 2015. Here we present a retrospective analysis of the occurrence of abnormal deliveries conducted in a tertiary care hospital. Materials and methods: A retrospective study was conducted to evaluate the occurrence of abnormal deliveries conducted in a zonal hospital. A total of 800 deliveries were conducted in this selected tertiary hospital between January 2017 to December 2018. Data analysis was done from birth register were the major events were documented and analysed. Results: Out of 800 patients, 408 (51.7%) patients delivered abnormally whereas 392(48.3%) underwent the process of normal labour. It was also observed that majority of the abnormal deliveries were LSCS i.e., 285 (70.4%). Majority of the women who had abnormal labour was found to be hypothyroidism on treatment i.e., 86 (25.67%). Out of 408 patients who delivered abnormally it was seen that 214(32.2%) were Post LSCS whereas only 3(0.45%) were detected Cephalo Pelvic Disproportion. Conclusion: Abnormal deliveries are prevalent due to increasing medical conditions complicating pregnancies. Constant supervision and care during antenatal period can decrease the maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity drastically
