Abstract
It was hypothesised that the problems occurring in an abortion situation might be even more pronounced at a repeat abortion. Forty-five women with repeated abortion and 92 women seeking their first abortion have been studied as regards their psycho-social background, the present social situation, sexual history, the present pregnancy and their experience of contraceptives. The groups differed significantly only in a few variables. The repeat-aborters had more children, were more often employed outside their homes, had had more sexual partners, had a greater experience of contraceptives and displayed more symptoms during the present pregnancy. The abortion groups differed significantly from a group of 118 pregnant women intending to go to term in several aspects of their psycho-social background and the present situation, which were more favourable for the mothers.
