Gestational diabetes may cause some structural alterations of placenta. To find out the effect of gestational diabetes on placental weight in a singleton pregnancy, a case control study was conducted in Omdurman Maternity Hospital, Khartoum (January 2015-September 2017), after due approval from institutional research committee, Alzaeim Alazhari University. The subjects were mothers who delivered in the hospital. Cases were selected randomly, and divided in two groups: group B consisted of mothers having normal pregnancy, group A consisted of mothers whose pregnancies were complicated by gestational diabetes mellitus. The data was managed statistically by SPSS. A total of 385 placentae were collected, 128 were gestational diabetic placentae (Group A) and 257 were normal placentae (group B). The mean placental weight in group A was 660 ± 116 gm (range, 470–900), while it was less in group B as 545± 206 (range, 300–900), and the difference was significant (P-value < 0.021). In conclusion there is significant increase in the placental weight in gestational diabetes placentae.
