Journal Title: Journal of Medical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 17, Issue 1
Abstract
Objectives: 1. To know the incidence of high risk pregnancy. 2. To study the pregnancy outcome in Non-risk and High-risk antenatal mothers. Study Design: Longitudinal study. Setting: Shindolli Village of Belgaum District. Participants: All women in this village who were pregnant at the start of the study and who became pregnant during the study period. Sample Size: 125. Statistical Analysis: Percentages and Chi-square Test. Results: The incidence of High risk pregnancy was noted in 51(40.80%) pregnant women. The various risk factors noted were: primigravida 18 years, grand multipara, pre-eclampsia, bad obstetric history, severe anaemia etc. Among 125 pregnancy outcome, 69(93.24%) pregnant women in the non-risk group had good outcome compared to 34(66.67%) in the high risk group. The outcome of the pregnancy was significantly associated with presence of risk factors. Conclusion: The high-risk pregnancies are due to early marriages and child bearing at an early age. In rural areas early marriages are perpetuated by tradition, belief and family needs to reduce expenditures. A high percentage of anaemia in the pregnant women was due to the fact that, majority of them belonged to low social classes which affect their dietary intake and purchasing power adversely. Another common factor noted in rural area was grand multiparity, due to the need for male child.
