This is to study is to evaluate the outcome of pregnancy with history of previous abortion. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This study was conducted for one and half year period in Regional Institute of Medical Sciences, Imphal, Manipur. RESULTS: We observed that majority of the women in the study fell in 25 to 35 years of age. 116 (71.9%) women with history of induced abortion were aged between 25 to 30 years of age. 52(73.3%) women with history of spontaneous abortions were less than 30 years of age. There were only 7(9.7%) women in the spontaneous abortion group who were above 35 years of age. CONCLUSION: We concluded that women with previous history of two or three induced abortions were at risk of preterm birth, very preterm birth and low birth weight babies in the subsequent pregnancies. The risk of caesarean was found to be increased in women with previous two or three spontaneous abortions exposing the women to the morbidity associated with the C-section.
