A woman's health should reach beyond the narrow perspective of maternal and reproductive health and should encompass physical as well as mental health across the life cycle. The focus should be shifted to a broader, social, legal, and economic factors rather than just immersing on lifestyle and individual factors. Recognition of mental health issues among women, education, training, and interventions at various levels would contribute to the improvement of mental health issues among women.

Pregnancy is described as a condition or a state from the time of conception up to the time of delivery. The ‘high-risk’ pregnancy means a woman has one or more things that raise her-or her baby’s chances for health problems or preterm (early) delivery. High blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, epilepsy, thyroid disease, smoking, alcohol, using illegal drugs, heart or blood disorder, poorly controlled asthma, malnutrition anemia, multiple pregnancy, pregnancy history and infection can increase the risk of pregnancy. This study was basically a descriptive type of epidemiological study based on the concept of active surveillance. The elements involved to study were risk factors involved during pregnancy like Pre-eclampsia, Gestational Diabetes, Thyroid, delivery related complications and weight gain during pregnancy. The data obtained was categorized and analyzed using graphical representations as charts, graphs and other means. The descriptive responses were analyzed individaually. Out of 100, 27 women were suffering from complications during late age pregnancy include Gestational Diabetes, Thyroid, complications due to High Blood Pressure, Cyst in Uterus, Bed Rest due to previous Miscarriage, Bleeding in Second Trimester, Acute Body Pain, Acute Rise in Blood pressure. Premature delivery was seen due to late age pregnancy. 16 out of 100 women had premature delivery i.e in 33 to 35 weeks of pregnancy or 7th and 8th month of pregnancy. In late age pregnancy, there were total 59 responses out of 100, 27(45.7%) women facing problems due to late age pregnancy like high BP, stillbirth, death of fetus in womb, thyroid, gestational diabetes and complications during delivery and 54.20% women were not having any problems. Women who suffered pregnancy induced hypertension, out of 57women 17(29.82%) were facing problems like depression, anxiety, miscarriage, weakness, vomiting, nausea. Out of 100 women, 9 women suffered from gestational diabetes and 10 women had prolonged diabetes. So from above results, it is considered that women who are 35 years and above are considered to be at “high risk” for pregnancy. Women who were aged 22-30 years didn’t suffer from such diseases but gestational diabetes was observed in some cases. Women who were aged 28-35 years suffered miscarriage and abortion due to reasons unknown.

“…In low- and middle-income countries, there is an urgent requirement to promote better maternal health and well-being. However, adverse pregnancy outcomes, such as miscarriage, can negatively impact the well-being of the mother [ 1 ]. Miscarriage is a common detrimental pregnancy outcome affecting many mothers across the world.…”

Background The primary public health issue, especially in low- and middle-income countries, is early pregnancy loss driven by miscarriage. Understanding early pregnancy losses and the characteristics of mothers who have miscarriages is essential to creating effective reproductive health strategies. Thus, this study’s primary goal is to delve into the factors which impact miscarriages that take place prior to and following the first 12 weeks of gestation. Methods The bivariate analysis was employed to determine the frequency of miscarriages. The factors associated with miscarriages in the first (≤12 weeks) and second & above (> 12 weeks) trimesters of pregnancy were then examined using a generalised linear regression model, with 95% confidence intervals. Finally, we use ArcGIS to illustrate the prevalence of miscarriage in the districts of India. Results Our result shows that miscarriages occur often in India (4.9%), with 23% of cases occurring in the first trimester (≤12 weeks). In our bivariate analysis, we identified several factors associated with a higher prevalence of miscarriages in India. It was found that mothers aged thirty years or older, residing in urban areas, with less than ten years of education, belonging to the richest wealth quantile, expressing a desire for more children, having no demand for contraception, and possessing no parity experienced a higher prevalence of miscarriage in total pregnancies in India. On the other hand, the generalised linear model’s findings show that mothers who are thirty years of age or older, practise other religions, live in urban areas, are members of other castes, want more children, marry before the age of eighteen, and meet their contraceptive needs are more likely to have miscarriages in total pregnancy. However, there is a larger likelihood of miscarriage in the first trimester (≤12 weeks) for mothers who follow other religions, live in urban areas, are from Other Backward Class (OBC), get married before the age of eighteen, and fall into the middle and upper wealth quantiles. A mother is more likely to miscarriage in the second & above (> 12 weeks) trimesters if she is older than thirty, from other castes, wants more children, has moderate media exposure, marries before turning eighteen, meets her contraceptive needs, and does not feel the need for contraception. After accounting for socioeconomic characteristics, all results were statistically significant. Conclusions Given the substantial number of miscarriages in India, police need to improve planning and guidance in order to lower pregnancy loss due to miscarriage. Miscarriage rates may be significantly decreased by enhancing the availability and quality of reproductive health care infrastructure, particularly in rural areas.
