Introduction: The global economic crisis has affected many European countries and especially Greece, with main feature that in a short time period it has affected rapidly Greeks’ life and especially in the field of health. As far as pregnancy is concerned the consequences have manifested with disorder of different perinatal parameters and they concern equally both mother and fetus. Objective: The investigation of consequences of the financial crisis in pregnancy, the outcome of pregnancies and childbirth, in relationship to the weight of neonate and prematurity. Results: The present investigation has shown that the exposure of Greek women to the economic downturn, during the critical period of pregnancy, is harmful to them as well as to their newborns, with an increase of prematurity which results to an increasing danger of the occurrence of short-term and long-term complications. It has also been connected to the increase of caesarean sections (from 35% in 2006 to 53% in 2019). Additionally, statistically significant differences have been observed between native and foreign women. One out of two Greek women gave birth with caesarean section, while the majority of foreign women (59.1 %) gave birth normally, with the foreign women showing better percentages of prematurity and childbirth at younger ages compared to Greek women. Finally, it has been noted that women who gave birth prematurely or have had caesarean sections were older. Suggestions: An urgent need of immediate intervention has been decided to the maternal care and also special reference for the mitigation of factors which are affected by the socioeconomic fluctuations (mother’s age, caesarean section percentages, prematurity, newborn’s birth weight) and form unsurpassed elements which are required to be put in the centre of attention of the Public Health System
