title: [Courses of pregnancy and deliveries of 107 women with longstanding desire for children. Comparison with normal group (author's transl)].
abstract: The records of a selected group of 107 women who became pregnant and delivered, after having been attended to for sterility at the First Obstetric and Gynaecological Department of the Viennese University Hospital, were reviewed and compared to data of a control group which had been selected at random. Mild gestosis was more often recorded from patients who had been treated for sterility (47 per cent), whereas moderate or severe gestosis was more often recorded from the controls. Tocolytic agents were orally administered to 30 per cent of those women who had been treated for sterility. Duration of labour was longer and dystocia more frequent in the sterility treatment group. The percentual rates of surgical delivery and caesarean section were about the same in both groups. SGA was recorded from 30 children of the first but only eleven children in the control group. The average birth weight of babies born to mothers, following treatment for sterility, was 120 g lower than that in the control groups. Particular attention should be given to placental insufficiency in any pregnancy, following treatment for sterility. There was obviously no increased frequency of severe obstetric complications.
