Table 2 shows that most of the
subjects in both groups were primi gravida
i.e., 90% in experimental group and 73.3% in
control group. 33.3% of the mothers in
experimental group had period of gestation
between 34+1 to 36 weeks whereas in
control group 56.7% of the mothers had
period of gestation between 38+1 to 40
weeks. Mean period of gestation in
experimental group was 37.05±2.18 weeks
where as in control group it was 38.35±2.0
weeks. 36.7% baby's bir th weight in
experimental group was 2000 grams whereas
in control group 13.3% babies had bir th
weight 2000 grams. Mean weight in
experimental group was 2502.7±635.09
grams and in control group was
27336.6±483.93 grams. Both the groups
were found to be homogenous in nature, in
terms of gravida, POG, and birth weight of
the baby as per chi-square test (p >0.05).
