The article presents data on the results of clinical and statistical analysis, estimation of the pregnancy course and labor in single and married women. Studies have shown that single women are at high risk of developing obstetric and perinatal complications. The age of single women exceeded 6 years; among them housewives were 5 times more often; the gynecological anamnesis of single women is three times more complicated and somatic anamnesis is twice as complicated. Marital status and partner support during pregnancy, labor and postpartum can improve obstetric and perinatal birth outcomes, as well as the clinical course of the postpartum period. Inadequate family structure, psychological and social factors in single women have a negative impact on the course of pregnancy and childbirth.

Key words: pregnancy and delivery, single women, perinatal complications.
