ABSTRACT
The obstetrical complications affecting women in Benin, Senegal and Ivory Coast during the first trimester of pregnancy were studied. Information about the 345 women included in the study was collected from registers maintained by the eight participating maternity units. The most frequent complications observed were spontaneous abortions (50% of admissions), complications of induced abortions (34%), and ectopic pregnancy (8%). Overall, the patients appear to have gained rapid access to care two thirds of the women underwent interventions on the day of admission. Nevertheless, there were three maternal deaths, two of which followed induced abortion complications.
