Abstract
This was a retrospective cohort study involving a total of 130 subjects who delivered at De La Salle University Medical Center from 2017-2019 and met the inclusion criteria. Short interpregnancy interval is associated with an increased risk of preterm delivery, hypertension and postpartum hemorrhage among multiparous young women. Counseling and proper education including family planning are important for both maternal and fetal health. The use of different family planning methods should be discussed and be made accessible to young women. These are important factors in improving health before and during pregnancy and to promote adequate interpregnancy interval to decrease the risk of adverse fetomaternal outcomes.
