ObjectivesThe influence a job—including its physical and psychological aspects—has on pregnant woman's chances of delivering prematurely.MethodsSeven hundred and seven women who had given birth participated. Statements regarding her job and its stresses were obtained with a standardised questionnaire.ResultsTwo hundred and thirty-seven of the 707 women delivered prematurely (<37 weeks), 471 at term. No increased incidence of premature deliveries was observed in working mothers or found in relation to physical stress. A link was observed due to a mother's dissatisfaction with her job (p<0.001).ConclusionWith changes in the workplace and adherence to laws protecting pregnant women, effective factors are in place that help prevent premature births. A prerequisite for this is the pregnant woman's contentment with her work.
