ABSTRACT
Birth weight is an important
determinant of wellbeing of an infant. Also the reason for every pregnancy is
to have a healthy baby. But most times, some pre natal sicknesses tend to
hamper this purpose and even pose threat to the wellbeing of the foetus and
infants in general. The research work seeks to use logistic regression analysis
to study the determinant of birth weight in Nigeria. The data for the study was
obtained from case folders of pregnant mothers who had undergone an anti-natal
care at Federal Medical Center Umuahia. The study showed that baby weight at
birth is negatively affected by the pre natal sicknesses under consideration.
It has thus recommended measures that would eradicate the negative effect of
pre natal sicknesses on the mother and her baby if employed appropriately.
