Women were divided into two groups (270) Women who got pregnant during breastfeeding and (270) women who got pregnant after weaning. Results: The miscarriage rate was not statistically significant (P=0.284).however, pregnancy during breastfeeding women had higher incidence of Anima (54.1%), IUGR (16.7%), CS (43.7%), Prolonged labor (13.3%) and low birth weights (LBW) (14.4%) compared with pregnant after weaning women .The results of present study revealed that there was no significant relation between the duration of lactation during the current pregnancy and complications.
