[Pregnancy and labor after artificial abortion].

The course of pregnancy, labour and puerperium was analysed in 170 women in labour after previous artificially interrupted pregnancy. They were compared with a group of 96 women in first labour. The women in labour after artificial abortion were older, had during pregnancy more frequently bleeding, gestosis, urinary tract infection. Labour, especially the stages of fetus expulsion and placenta expulsion lasted longer, and blood loss was greater. Postnatal complications were more frequent. No significant differences in the condition of the newborn were noted.
