The mean age at the time of transplantation was 25.29 ±5.5 years (16-32 years). 25% cases had gestational diabetes mellitus, 75% had anemia and 50% had urinary tract infection. The mean birth weight of babies was 2210 ±.638 grams (range1500-3400g). Preterm deliveries comprised 37.5% before 34 weeks and 50% after 34 weeks. 37.5% of the neonates needed neonatal intensive care unit admission.
