The universe of study was composed of 185 women. The primary registry was a survey made according to bibliographic review. The most significant risk factors were: maternal malnutrition III or IV (60,68%), history of bronchial asthma (58,33%) and history of low weight (42,86%). The most used contraceptive was the pill (71,35%), whereas the injectable had the most side effects (amenorrhea). The use of hormonal contraceptives was considered as efficient.
