S - Short statured primi ( 140 cm and below )
K - Kidney and other diseases ( complications )

A - Anaemia ( hemoglobin 50% or less )
P - Pre - eclampsia or eclampsia
P - Prolonged pregnancy ( 2 weeks after expected date of delivery )
R - Removal of placenta manually
O - Old age ( elderly grand multipara )
