Abstract

From 1973 to 1975 five hundred Berlin women have been questioned in puerperum. The authors seeked for possible differences in pregnancy behaviour during planned and unplanned gravidity. 40% of the women had an unplanned pregnancy. A higher fraction of unplanned pregnancies was found in young, unmarried women being under education, women without profession, plurigravids, and those who had never taken the anti baby pill.--In 5 of 8 parameters there were no differences in behaviour between planned and unplanned pregnancies (nourishment, use of drugs without doctor's order, coffee, alcohol, cohabitation near term).--In the group of planned pregnancy more mothers drank sufficient quantities of milk, read books about pregnancy and delivery, and smoked less. But the differences are small. Therefore the authors don't believe that fact of unplanned pregnancy is a considerable factor of risk for fetus and newborn.
