Summary:The study was initiated to determine the prevalence and the complications of gestational diabetes in women attending Parakou maternities clinics in 2015. This study was longitudinal, descriptive and analytical. The study population consists of women with gestational diabetes in Parakou maternities wards. The gestational diabetes was screened by the oral glucose tolerance test. The outcome of pregnancy was appreciated by the search for complications during pregnancy. Glycemic control was achieved in women 6 weeks after delivery. The data were analyzed using EPI-INFO 3.1 Fr. Of the 151 pregnant women who did the screening, 19 had a gestational diabetes; a prevalence of 12.6%. Pregnant women with gestational diabetes were at increased fetal macrosomia, hydramnios, macrosomia at birth, high birth weight of newborns compared to women without gestational diabetes (p<0,01). The maternal complications did not observed. The postprandial delivery blood glucose of women with gestational diabetes was normal. The gestational diabetes is associated with complications of pregnancy. Routine screening of women at risk for adequate management is necessary.
