Abstract Background: Maternal, infant and neonatal mortality rates are high in Bangladesh. Certain childbearing practices and poor utilisation of antenatal care services make Bangladeshi women more vulnerable to experience poor health during pregnancy and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Also, women in Bangladesh remain considerably subordinate to men in almost all aspects of their lives, from education and work opportunities to healthcare utilisation. This study investigates the severity of health complications during pregnancy in relation to women’s autonomy, and how childbearing practices and utilisation of antenatal care mediate this relationship. Methods: Data from the most recent Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS) is used in this study. Multinomial regression models (MLRM) are employed to examine the relationship between the outcome variable - high risk pregnancy, and explanatory variables - women’s autonomy, childbearing practices and use of antenatal care. Results: In Bangladesh, about 41.5% of women experienced high-risk pregnancies involving multiple health complications. Findings showed that women’s autonomy in decision-making, freedom of movement and economic autonomy were significantly associated with high-risk pregnancies. However, women’s autonomy in physical mobility in particular did so only through the mediating factors of maternal childbearing practices and antenatal care. Specifically, both early and delayed childbearing and shorter birth interval increased the likelihood of high-risk (multiple complications) pregnancies by about 30% and 31% respectively, high parity increased the risk by 23% and use of antenatal care decreased it by 46%. Conclusion: The Women’s decision-making autonomy, freedom of movement and economic autonomy had significant effects on high-risk pregnancies. However, the effects were mediated by both maternal childbearing practices and use of antenatal care in a limited way. Policies and programmes aimed at improving pregnancy outcomes need to focus on all three sets of factors: women’s autonomy, childbearing practices and use of antenatal care.

Abstract Background A high level of maternal, infant and neonatal mortality occurs in Bangladesh. Certain childbearing practices as well as low use of antenatal care services make Bangladeshi women more vulnerable to experience poor health during pregnancy which contributes adverse birth outcomes. Also, women in Bangladesh remain considerably subordinate to men in almost all aspects of their lives, from education and work opportunities to healthcare utilisation. This lack of opportunities contributes to the low status of women within their family and society, and generally poor health outcomes for both mother and children. This study thus aims to investigate the factors associated with severity of health complications during pregnancy in relation to the low status of women, and the relative role of childbearing practices and antenatal care uptake to influence this relationship. Methods The relevant data from the last Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS) is used in this study. Multinomial logistic regression models (MLRM) of categorical response variables are applied as statistical tools to analyse the relevant data for the outcome variable: high-risk pregnancy. Results In Bangladesh, about 38.7% of women experienced high-risk pregnancies with multiple health complications. Findings of the study firstly found women’s decision-making autonomy and freedom of movement significantly associated with high-risk pregnancies. However, the results further reveal that maternal childbearing practices and antenatal care uptake had strong significant effects on high-risk pregnancies. Maternal age, particularly early childbearing of women had about 52% increased risk, and use of antenatal care had about 0.58 times less risk in having high-risk pregnancies. Conclusion Although the maternal decision-making autonomy and freedom of movement had significant effects on high-risk pregnancies, however, their relationships were strongly mediated by both maternal childbearing practices and uses of antenatal care.

Determinants required for connecting between socio - economic variables - culture with fertility because after all , there are facts that can not be denied that fertility is the result of biological activity . The results showed that although the values at the community level suggested to have the number of children that a lot , to a certain extent , the women in the study area can control the number of children they have. This control works through Desired fertility and the determinants , namely : the use of contraception and delay the age of marriage is influenced by women's autonomy and power as proposed by Mason and Smith ( 2003) . Women's autonomy and power in question is the power of women in economic decision-making , decision-making power of women in family size , their physical freedom of movement , the size of the gender attitudes at the community level , and their space in household decisionmaking . The conclusion of this study indicate that in the study area , the use of contraception is more influential in affecting fertility than the actual delay marriage age. <br /> Keywords : Gender Relationships, Fertility, Aspects of Women's Autonomy and Power , Desired Fertility, Actual Fertility, Reuters Determinants  <br />

Unwanted Pregnancies

Rarely does a pregnancy happen without any complication. The majority of these problems are minor and due to normal anatomical and physiological changes occurring during pregnancy. However, some are more serious and require medical attention. Certain conditions that are specific to pregnancy and occur during pregnancy classify it as a high-risk pregnancy. A high-risk pregnancy is closely monitored with antenatal check-ups and possibly an additional care. In labour, certain obstetric complications require an immediate intervention. A high-quality antenatal care means that potentially serious conditions are usually successfully managed, both during pregnancy and in labour. Post-delivery problems, either to baby or to mother, may also need medical attention with careful follow-up and sometimes referral. Thus, providing good antenatal care, finding appropriate ways of preventing, and dealing with consequences of unwanted pregnancies and improving the way society looks after pregnant women are the three most important ways to reduce maternal mortality in high risk pregnancies.
