An analysis of 2280 puerperas who delivered newborns with the birth weight of 2500 g up to over 4000 g in the first half of 1989 at the Clinic for Obstetrics and Gynecology in Sarajevo had been conducted. Age, parity, body weight increase during pregnancy, and their socio-economic status was investigated. All newborns were divided into several groups according to birth weight: 2500-3000 g, 3000-3500 g, 3500-4000 g and over 4000 g. Puerperas with hypertension before pregnancy, EPH gestosis, anaemia and pyelonephritis were excluded. It has been found that newborns with birth weight between 3000-3500 g, the most desirable weight, were delivered by mothers who had a body weight increase of about 12.6 kg during pregnancy. Their average age was 25 years among primiparas, and 27 among multiparas; they were high-school graduates. American authors consider a weight increase of 8 kg during pregnancy as the most ideal for a good outcome. Vitality of newborns measured by the Apgar score was satisfying, with minor deviations in the group with birth weight over 4000 g.

After oral administration of 300 mg of nitrofurantoin (Nifurantin) to various groups of pregnants, to women in labour and nonpregnant women the blood level and renal excretion of nitrofurantoin were investigated. We stated that gravidity, pyelonephritis and EPH-gestosis did not alter neither the renal excretion nor the blood level. In contrast to this during labour the renal elimination of nitrofurantoin was diminished and the blood concentration was enhanced. The biotransformation of nitrofurantoin seems not to be changed by pregnancy.
