Risk stratifications for pregnant women are made based on patients personal history during booking visit at primary health care setup. Pregnant women that are classed as ‘low risk pregnancy’ were treated as normal pregnancy and follow a standard antenatal care. The aim of our study is to observe the demographics of low risk pregnant women in Klinik Kesihatan Ampang, Malaysia and their pregnancy outcomes. The study is part of a prospective cohort study conducted among 47 low risk pregnancies, known as ‘The effect of BPV in the maternal and neonatal outcome’. All participants were followed up until delivery and postpartum data gained from patients and clinic. The sample comprised of 28 primigravidas (59.5%) and 19 multigravidas (40.5%). At the end of the study, 3 subjects (6.4%) developed hypertension and one of them developed severe preeclampsia, 1 subject (2%) developed placenta previa and gestational diabetes mellitus and 3 subjects (6.38%) PPROM. Majority of them delivered via SVD and 36.2% delivered via EMLSCS. 10.6% delivered LBW baby, 8% are premature baby and 14.9% born with low Apgar score. Pregnant women that were classed as low risk pregnancy still at risk of getting obstetric complications as well as the neonates from normal pregnancies. This study contributed to an overview of pregnancy outcome among the low risk pregnant women in Ampang, Malaysia. The findings revealed that a low risk pregnancy does not ensure or predict a normal pregnancy outcome. Considering the various potential negative maternal and neonatal outcomes, this group of mothers should be given thorough medical and social attention as an effort to improve their pregnancy outcome.

Female circumcision in Malaysia involves drawing a drop of blood and causing brief pain by nicking the tip of the clitoris or prepuce with a pen-knife or sharp tools. The objective of this paper is to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice of female circumcision among patients who attended the outpatient Obstetrics and Gynaecology clinic in Hospital Ampang. A cross-sectional questionnaire study using sequential sampling of patients aged > 18-year-old attending the clinic. 80% (315) thought circumcision was performed mainly for religious reasons. The perceived benefits include control of sexual desire among women 78% (111). Responding to the question -would you circumcise your daughter', 97% (380) said they would. There was no significance correlation between respondents being circumcised and their views on having their daughters circumcised (correlation coefficient, r=0.2693). 94.3% (379) believed that circumcision had no complications. 79% (318) of the respondents chose to have the circumcision between 0-6 months. 73% (293) chose a medical doctor as the preferred person to do the circumcision. 72% (289) of the respondents stated that they did not actually know how circumcision is performed. 63% (62) of the non-Muslims had never heard of female circumcision. Although there is no specific statement in the Al-Quran to validate such a practice, majority performed circumcision based on religious grounds. Cultural influence may play a role in why and how circumcision is performed as the practice varies between communities and countries. A medical doctor is the preferred person to perform circumcision although there is no formal training for such a practice and in some countries, it is illegal. Despite wanting to have their daughters circumcised, only few mothers knew how exactly it is done.
