Attendances have been affected by the fact that
a number of expectant mothers, who used to be sent
by the Salvation Army Midwives, now attend the
out-patient department of the Mothers' Hospital,
Clapton, and the ante-natal work of the London
Hospital is extending.
The expectant mothers, 401 in number, may be
grouped as follows :—
Number of primigravidse 79
Number of multigravidæ 322
Full-term confinements, including
3 stillbirths 212
Premature births 3
Caesarian section 1
Miscarriages (15) and Stillbirths (7) 22
Not pregnant 46
Sterile (1), Mother died (1) 2
Not yet confined (22nd March,
1926) 108
Left Borough, result unknown 7
Wassermann reaction for syphilis :—
Number of blood-tests 7
Number of positive 2
The 215 confinements took place, 173 at home and 42
in institutions.
The following features of the work of the Clinic are also of
interest:—
No less than 128 mothers came to enquire whether they
were pregnant. Of the mothers who attended the Clinic
before their confinement 49 also attended after the confinement,
while 130 of the mothers have attended the infant consultations
with their children.
