Description

Definition
PREGNANCY STATUS: This column will be filled in for those women who were pregnant any time during last 365 days. Spontaneous abortions are the cases not affected by any known cause, like accident or injury or medicine. When the pregnancy is terminated due to some accident or injury, it will be considered as induced abortion and when it is by medicine( with or without the advice of medical practitioners), it will be considered as MTP( Medical Termination of Pregnancy).
