An analysis is made of the pregnancies of all Vietnamese refugees who presented to the antenatal clinic at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital. Adelaide, during the period from June, 1977, to January, 1980. This comprised 78 pregnancies in 76 women. Previous medical history, social status, antenatal and delivery complications and neonatal outcome are assessed, and differences between the study group and the non‐Asian public patients, which are discussed in detail, are demonstrated.
