The occupation of majority of women husband in DHQ was farming (33.33%), followed by laborer (40%), teaching (16.65%) and trading (10%), while majority of husbands of patients in KTMC were laborer (38.33%) followed by farming (36.66%), teaching (13.33%) and trading (11.66%).
Results:  The normal weight of children in DHQ and KTMC was recorded 75 and 68.33%, respectively. In DHQ and KTMC, 50 and 38.33% children born alive, respectively while 26.66 and 35% abortions occurred, respectively. Neonatal outcome was linked to pregnancy complications and perinatal morbidity.
