Objective: To identify significant risk factors for an adverse outcome in active‐duty military women. Method: A prospective study of 105 pregnancies and their outcome. Results: The data revealed that: (1) single women more than married personnel had cesarean births when compared with forceps and vacuum (P < 0.03) or spontaneous vaginal delivery (P < 0.04); and (2) active‐duty women who gained <25 pounds during pregnancy developed preterm labor more often (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Risk factors for these adverse outcomes remain unknown.
