Abstract

This paper is produced from the data by interviewing expectant mothers at 5 medical institutes in Seoul during the period of 20 months between February, 1975 and September, 1976, aiming primarily to elucidate possible association between induced abortion and the outcome of the subsequent pregnancies. Women attending antenatal clinics were interviewed twice before deliveries and twice afterward. At the first contact 5,843 women were interviewed and 5,024 at the second between 24 and 32 weeks of their gestation periods.
This paper is mostly focused on behaviors during their pregnancies and main results are summarized as following:
1. As shown in Table 1, 42.3 percent of women sit mostly, 47.5 percent half sit and half walk, the remainder, 10. 2 percent mostly sit and walk in pregnancy. The proportion of women sitting mostly from extended family surpasses those from nuclear family by 7.3 percent, which is probably due to the heavier household works among the former. Women sitting mostly are more often among those in twin pregnancies than singleton whereas those walking or standing mostly show more frequent occurrence of hypertension and edema, probably associated with their lower socio-economic backgrounds. The similarity is found with puerperal complication.
2. At the first interview about one-fourth of women is found to be gainfully employed which is reduced to one-sixth at the second interview. As illustrated in
