Summary

Unintended and closely spaced pregnancies are a major public health problem that affects not only the individuals directly involved but also the society indirectly. It increases the risks of infants with adverse outcomes such as preterm, low birth weight and small for gestational age. Pregnancy occurring within six months of the last delivery holds a 7.5-fold increased risk for induced abortion, a 3.3-fold increase in miscarriage and a 1.6-fold increased risk of stillbirth. But, use of contraceptive methods has been shown to reduce unwanted pregnancy, high fertility and maternal mortality rates.
