Introduction: Pregnancy is a special natural and physiological event that is not always normally and is responsible for morbidity and preventable mortality. Pregnancy risk is defined as one that is complicated by a factor or factors that negatively affect the outcome of pregnancy the mother's side and/or perinatal. This study was assigned as targets to determine the risk pregnancy prevalence and the factors associated with these pregnancies. Materiel and Method: We conducted a cross-sectional descriptive study at the General Hospital Katuba in Lubumbashi for a period of three months from March to June 2017. Result: Our results showed that 11.5% of pregnancies were high risk and moderate in 21.6%. Overall, pregnancies were high or moderate risk of 33.1%. A proportion of 19.8% of new mothers were aged over 35 years and 3.4% were under 18 years. The average age was 28.8 ± 7.2 years. Age greater than 35 years, multiparity, the high parity, the multigestity and the large multigestity were significantly associated with a risk
This qualitative analysis has searched the primiparae women's experiences around the practice of breastfeeding after weaning their children under the age of six months. After their free and deliberate consent, 17 mothers, met at the maternal and child health service of the Sendwe's Hospital of Lubumbashi in D.R. Congo, constituted the population of our analysis. The semi-directive interview allowed us to collect data. Primiparae women have encountered negative experiences during breastfeeding stage. This has definitely influenced them to stop breastfeeding of their children at six months. The analysis has found that these mothers were not supported nor adequately informed or prepared at the process of giving birth. In the practice of breastfeeding, the subjective perception of their health state and sensations perceived have involved them to stop breastfeeding. This seems more superficial and unsubstantial reasons; however, they have led to stopping breastfeeding.
