title: [Morbidity, causes of work disability and social factors influencing work disability in pregnancy. 1. Morbidity].
abstract: The level of patients was analysed on 1,100 pregnant women. The average duration of unfitness for work amounted to 25.7 days. Up to the end of the 34th week of pregnancy 65.4% of the working pregnant women were one or several times unfit for work. Two thirds of all releases from work happened between the 17th and 34th weeks. Pregnant women with risk factors had a significantly higher average frequency and duration of unfitness for work. The indications for intensive care of pregnant women are to be set more severely. The professional expositions of pregnant women have to be more organised by labor rights. Individual behavioural patterns from the view of the doctor and of the pregnant women influence on the occurrence of unfitness for work.
