The aim of the work was to assess the course of pregnancy in mothers of children treated in the Department of Intensive Therapy and Neonate Pathology and to examine the relationship between the course of pregnancy and the infant health. The study included 100 mothers aged 18-40 and their children treated in the Department of Intensive Therapy and Neonate Pathology in Katowice in 1999-2000. The investigative method comprised a questionnaire and analysis of records. Mode of life, physical work and condiments, are the main causes of premature childbirths, low birth weight children and poor general condition of the newborn. Many of the mothers were ill during pregnancy and took medicines.
