Objectives: - to assess and compare unmet need for family planning of married males and married females in the field practice area of RHTC Naila, Jaipur.
Materials and methods: - A community based cross sectional analytic type of observational study through 30 cluster sample technique was carried out on 968 eligible couples (married men and women of reproductive age group) residing in field practice area of RHTC Naila, attached to SMS Medical College, Jaipur.
Results: - Female’s were having significantly more (p<0.001) unmet need than males (20.9% v/s 10.2%). Limiting as well as limiting type of unmet need females predominate over males (p<0.001). Although difference between mean existing and desired number of children was observed significant (p<0.05) in females not in males but for girls child both felt significantly (p<0.001) more than desired. Although in males there was no significant difference was observed in desired and existing interval between children but in case of females it was significantly less (p<0.05) in ‘0’ to1st and significantly more (p<0.05) in 1st to 2nd child interval.
Conclusion: - Females were having more unmet need than males. Males as well as females felt that they have more number of girls. Females want to have earlier 1st child and delay the 2nd

Along with their body weight and height, study variables as pregnancy outcome were-Anemia in pregnancy, Pre-eclampcia, prolonged lab our, nature of delivery, Birth weight. Risk of pregnancy outcome was inferred by ODD’s Ratio in relation to normal weight women.
Conclusions: Pregnant women with Low BMI & High BMI carry a risk for adverse pregnancy outcome. Low BMI have more risk for anaemia whereas high BMI women have more risk for pre-eclampcia, .Risk of underweight babies was more with both. Therefore, women should maintain a normal BMI to achieve a healthy pregnancy outcome.
