The following statistically significant dependences could be demonstrated. The average duration of unfitness for work higher was with the increasing age. Unmarried pregnant women had a shorter average duration of unfitness for work than married ones. Corresponding to the degree of the professional qualification the average duration of unfitness for work increased. Pregnant women who were working in the industrial production, in the sphere of trade and service and in the educational system had a higher average frequency of unfitness for work than other groups of occupation. In connection with the results possible engagements and behavioural patterns of pregnant women are discussed, especially the correlations between occupation and pregnancy.
