Evidences regarding the effect of pre- and postnatal care on women fertility were scanty and rarely explored in
countries struggling to curtail high population growth. This specialized health care enabled women for regular
consultation with the health professionals and discussions with fellow women visiting clinics. It enhances their
awareness, knowledge and understating about mother-child welfare during pre- and postnatal cares. This
improves their control on subsequent fertility and underlines the need to explore the hidden dimension of female
fertility. A doctoral level study on the determinants of marital fertility was conducted in district Faisalabad,
Pakistan. It also examined the influence of pre- and postnatal care on family size in terms of children ever born. A
random sample of 1051 married women was studied from 18 villages and 18 urban localities through formal
survey. The study concluded that at least 5 prenatal and 2 postnatal cares proved effective in reducing marital
fertility. Improved women access to specialized care, motivation through mass media, involvement of female
representatives at union council level and effective use of primary support groups are the measures suggested to
enhance women control on their fertility in Pakistan.
