ABSTRACT

The Aim and Objective of this study is to enlighten the factors that affect Birth Spacing/Fertility among sexually active, married women living in sub urban regions of India. Birth spacing can be defined as the time from one child birth to the next pregnancy. WHO recommends a waiting of at least 24 months between two successive pregnancies, which is necessary to ensure a better maternal and child health. As per our study 44% women were already practicing birth spacing, while 66% women strongly agreed toward the necessity of birth spacing. This study brings out the grey areas for development towards women and child health.
