Abstract

Hundred-forty-eight pregnancies in immigrants from South-east Asia were analyzed. A high number of such patients underwent legal abortion; in the women who carried on pregnancy, the authors considered the course of pregnancy, delivery and puerperium and some neonatal parameters. The results have shown that pregnancy in immigrants presents a certain amount of risk.
