Abstract
Spacing of birth is an important parameter affecting maternal and foetal health. Optimal birth spacing provides multiple benefits for both mother and her child. Both short and long inter-delivery interval (IDI) is associated with multiple adverse perinatal outcomes. Therefore, inter-delivery interval is viewed as a potential modifiable risk factor for adverse foetal-maternal outcome.

Methods: This Prospective hospital based study was done in Dept of Gynae and Obstetrics, Burdwan Medical College and Hospital, West Bengal, India for a period of 18 months from February 2021 to July 2022. All multigravida women with atleast three antenatal check-ups were included in the study. The data were statistically analysed using Microsoft Excel and SPSS software.
