Background: The significance of planned pregnancy is an accepted principle for improving the health of pregnant women; and quality of life, as one of the important indicators of women's health, is reduced in high-risk pregnancies. The aim of this research was to investigate the changes in the health related quality of life (HRQL) in low risk pregnancies in different groups based on pregnancy context. Methods: The present study was a longitudinal prospective study conducted on 250 pregnant women divided into three groups of women with planned pregnancy, unplanned/wanted pregnancy and unwanted pregnancy. Then, using WHOQOL-26 questionnaire, the quality of life of these women was measured in physical, psychological, social and environmental dimensions at the beginning of pregnancy as well as at the end of the first, second and third trimesters. Results: Based on the results, the mean score of environmental-HRQL in women with unwanted pregnancy was significantly lower than the other two groups. All dimensions on HRQL were influenced by time and group. However, changes in the physical, psychological and social dimensions of HRQL varied within the groups. Physical- HRQL changes were different within the groups. The intergroup effect on environmental dimension of quality of life changes was significant.Conclusion: It was observed in this study that HRQL in the women with unwanted pregnancy was lower than the women with planned pregnancy and those with unplanned /wanted pregnancy. Moreover, increase in gestational age would lower quality of life, but this decline had a similar pattern in different groups.

Complications resulting from unsafe abortion are among the major complications which account for nearly 75% of all maternal deaths. Unsafe abortion is risky for women with an unintended pregnancy. Unintended pregnancy is one of the important issues in public health because there is a negative relationship with the health and social impacts for both mother and children. This study aims to determine trends and analyses the determinants of unintended pregnancy in married woman aged 15-49 in Indonesia. The secondary data used in this study are Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS) 2002/03, 2007, and 2012 to display the trends and IDHS 2012 to analyze factors associated with unintended pregnancy. This study is a quantitative study using cross sectional design with married woman aged 15-49 years who had pregnancy/birth and currently pregnant at the time of survey as the study population. Data analysis was done with complex sample from univariate, bivariate by using chi square analysis, and multivariate by using multiple logistic regression analysis. The results shows the increase and decrease of unintended pregnancy based on IDHS 2002/03, 2007, and 2012 (17,1%, 20,3%, 14,7%). The result of the study based on IDHS 2012 shows that the variables significant associated to the incidence of unintended pregnancy included the use of planning methods (PR=1,91), knowledge of contraception methods (PR=0,73), age (PR=1,97), parity (PR=3,25), birth spacing (PR=0,76), residents (PR =1,29), age at first marriage (PR=1,33), knowledge of ovulation cycle (PR=1,31), woman participation in household decision making (PR=1,52). Parity is the most dominantly influencing variable with unintended pregnancy incidence after other variables control (PR=2,33). Contraception program for fertile couples is important to reduce the unintended pregnancy issue by focusing on the effectivity of KB or birth control method, ideal pregnancy planning, and related mother-infant health program so that the welfare of the family can be maintained and improved, decreasing the fertility rate, unsafe abortion and maternal mortality.
