ABSTRACT
One thousand women were interviewed about their reproductive behavior, 24 to 72 hours after pregnancy resolution. Ages of interviewed women ranged fron 13 to 47 years old. Eighty seven percent had three children or less. The proportion of single women with a first pregnancy was 62 percent and decreased to 9.3 percent in those with a second pregnancy. At the first pregnancy, 1.3 percent of women were using contraceptives, not withstanding that 27 percent did not want to become pregnant. Most women had a birth spacing of 24 to 59 months. There was a low number of stillbirths in this sample. This work shows that studied women have pregnancies at low risk ages and an adequate parity
