Single and malnourished mothers represented the 22, 46 % and 17, 65 % respectively. The 9, 09 % of the women with preconceptional reproductive risk had one or more abortions of the second quarter; the 6, 95 % neonates with low birth weight in previous pregnancies, while two of them showed congenital malformations (1, 07 %) in their offspring, the 8 % of them were carriers of an urinary infection.
