outcome of post pill pregnancies I. A clinical evaluation of pregnancies in former contraceptive users

ABSTRACT

In a prospective study, the outcome of 500 pregnancies in former oral contraceptive users was compared with the outcome of 200 pregnancies in women who had never used oral contraceptives. Hypertensive toxemias were more common and the overall increase in weight was greater in the post pill group. The post pill babies tended to be lighter in weight and there was a higher proportion of girls among them. The incidence of abortion was not significantly different in the post pill group compared with the control group
