Maternal age, neonates sex , parity , family members, motherʹs education and job , social status, blood pressure , history of low birth weight delivery , area of residence, gestational intake of iron and calcium, history of malignant gestational nausea and vomiting and vaginal infections were the variables to he studied.Interview checklists, weight scale and sphygmomanometer were used for data collection. Findings revealed a significant relationship between intra- utenine growth restriction and factors such as parity , motherʹs age, blood pressure and gestational nausea and vomiting. In other words, the older the mothers, the higher the birth weigh of their infants. Mothers with bp higher than 140/90 mmHg gave birth to lower - weight infants. Also, low birth weight infants were observed with mothers having experienced malignant gestational nausea and vomiting.
