The interval between pregnancies and the outcome of subsequent births
Article Abstract:
There may be no optimal interval between pregnancies. A 1999 study found that women who got pregnant between 18 and 23 months after a previous birth had the lowest risk of premature, low birth weight or small for gestational age babies. Women who had an interval of less than 6 months or more than 10 years between pregnancies had a higher risk. However, these women may have had other risk factors. Many of the pregnancies may have been unplanned, and this is more common in poor women with other health problems. This factor alone could increase the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes.
