Introduction: Female genital mutilation (FGM) is one of the most serious forms of violence against the girl child and women. It is a practice most prevalent in African countries. There are conflicting results from previous studies on the impact of FGM on maternal and perinatal outcomes. Aim: This study aimed at determining the proportion of parturients with female genital mutilation in OAUTHC, Ile-Ife, South-West Nigeria as well as evaluating the impact of the FGM on maternal and fetal outcomes. Methods: A total 460 women that presented in labour within the four- month study period were serially recruited. Relevant data related to socio-demographic characteristics were documented at admission. The women had their external genitalia examined for the presence of genital mutilation and classified using the 2008 WHO classification of FGM. Their labour was then monitored actively till delivery. At delivery, the mode of delivery, duration of labour, need for episiotomy, presence of perineal laceration, post-partum haemorrhage due to perineal laceration, baby’s birth weight, Apgar Scores at 1 and 5 minutes, need for resuscitation including intubation and need for neonatal intensive care unit admission were documented.
