“…Long-term follow-through studies of unwanted pregnancy have been conducted in Sweden [72,73,74,75], Finland [76,77,78], the Czech Republic [79,80,81], Denmark [82,83], Germany [84] and Australia [85]. On the whole, these studies show deficits in education and relationships during the first 30 years of life, and, in one study [78], an increase in the prevalence of schizophrenia.…”

This article reviews severe disorders of the mother-infant relationship involving emotional rejection of the infant in the first year of its life. Infants exposed to their mother’s hatred and rage may suffer far-ranging and long-term disadvantages, and are at risk of maltreatment. Diagnosis, therapy and research have been hampered by the lack of recognition of this clinical syndrome in the classifications. The imminent revision of these classificatory systems must include them.

The goal of this study was to analyze a 54-item instrument for assessment of perception of exposure to environmental contaminants within the context of the built environment, or exposome. This exposome was defined in five domains to include 1) home and hobby, 2) school, 3) community, 4) occupation, and 5) exposure history. Interviews were conducted with child-bearing-age minority women at Metro Nashville General Hospital at Meharry Medical College. Data were analyzed utilizing DTReg software for Support Vector Machine (SVM) modeling followed by an SPSS package for a logistic regression model. The target (outcome) variable of interest was respondent's residence by ZIP code. The results demonstrate that the rank order of important variables with respect to SVM modeling versus traditional logistic regression models is almost identical. This is the first study documenting that SVM analysis has discriminate power for determination of higher-ordered spatial relationships on an environmental exposure history questionnaire.

“…Only after the U.S. Supreme Court legalized women's right to abortion did the magnitude of the problem of unwanted pregnancies in this country become apparent, spanning a wide spectrum of society from unmarried adolescents to older married women, as well as both those without and those with adequate access to health services. By the end of the twentieth century, careful longitudinal research had clearly established that unwanted pregnancies that were carried to term because they could not be terminated by abortion posed serious health risks for the newborn child as well as long-term negative consequences, including poor psychosocial adjustment during childhood and adolescence and reduced mental well-being in adulthood (David 2006).…”

The effects of preconception desires and intentions on pregnancy wantedness

Do preconception intentions to conceive add to the prediction of pregnancy wantedness beyond the effect of preconception desires? This paper addresses that question, using data regarding the most recent pregnancy of 2,299 women respondents to the 2002 U.S. National Survey of Family Growth. We test a structural equation model predicting a woman's pregnancy wantedness with her preconception desires, her perception of her partner's preconception desires, and her preconception intentions. In this multivariate setting, preconception intentions do not predict pregnancy wantedness in the overall sample. However, they do predict wantedness in certain demographic contexts. We identify three patterns of change in our model that occur in selected contexts. We then use these patterns to hypothesize three psychosocial mechanisms by which preconception intentions may increase the wantedness of a pregnancy beyond that resulting from the woman's preconception desires to get pregnant and her perception of her partner's preconception desires.
