Stature and weight of Coloured primigravidas in Cape Town. 1978

D L Woods, and H de V Heese, and D A Davey, and D J van Schalkwyk

The stature and weight of Coloured primigravidas delivering at term in Cape Town were investigated. When compared with White mothers they were found to be significantly shorter, lighter and thinner. It is postulated that both childhood undernutrition and an inadequate diet during pregnancy are responsible for these findings.
