pubmed:abstractText
A population-based cross-sectional study of antenatal and perinatal care was performed in Campania, a region of southern Italy. One thousand three hundred women who had given birth in 1982 were interviewed. The number of antenatal visits was very low, less than 1% of the mothers having attended more than three times during pregnancy. The women at high obstetric risk did not attend more than those at low risk and certain aspects of their antenatal care were unsatisfactory. The place of birth was similar for high risk and low risk mothers, with 40% delivering in small private facilities (with few neonatal resuscitation facilities and often with inadequate infant transport services). The labour was induced or accelerated in 60% of the mothers. The organisation of perinatal care did not take into account many of the needs of the mothers such as presence of a relative at delivery, ambulation during labour, early relationship with the newborn, rooming-in, or encouragement to breastfeed.
