Short birth pregnancy intervals have been associated with adverse
maternal outcomes like anemia, pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, puerperal
infection and maternal mortality and other morbidities. Fetal outcome is
preterm birth, low birth weight, IUGR, fetal or neonatal death.
Prevention of short birth pregnancy interval can be achieved by
post-partum contraception.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
