Abstract
A survey was conducted among married anaesthetists with regard to the incidence of spontaneous abortion, Caesarean section and the birth and growth of their children, taking other physicians as controls. Female anaesthetists were found to have a higher incidence of abortion than female physicians. The incidence of Caesarean section was also significantly higher in anaesthetists. The non medical wives of male anaesthetists had a greater number of female babies; the male:female ratio was 0.9:1.Keywords
