Abstract

This study makes a thorough assessment of the effects of birth planning in terms of timing, spacing, and limiting childbearing on maternal and child health outcomes in an effort to provide recommendations for maximizing synergy between maternal, infant, and young children's nutrition and family planning in India. Study plan. The most recent data from India's National Family Health Survey, often known as the Demographic and Health Survey, were used in this study. Representative samples were chosen using a reliable two-stage systematic random sampling method to measure demographic and health indicators. Body mass index, which is classified as normal, underweight, and overweight for women, as well as anemia, stunting, underweight, and under-five mortality, are used to assess maternal and child health outcomes. Logistic regression, as well as Models of Coxproportional Hazard was used. In comparison to their counterparts, women who had more pregnancies and those who had first-order births with less than two years between marriage and the first child were at an increased risk of underweight and anemia.
