Unintended pregnancy and preterm birth

Abstract: About one-third of all pregnancies that result in live births in the US are unintended. Despite the large number of these births, little is known about the outcomes of unintended pregnancies. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the association between intendedness of pregnancy and preterm birth in a large prospective cohort of women who reported for prenatal care. Pregnant, black, low-income women were enrolled into this study at four hospital-based prenatal care clinics and one off-site hospital-… Show more

“…Recent data suggest that 49%-51% of all pregnancies 1,2 and 37% of all births 3 in the United States are unintended. Such high rates of unintended pregnancy are troubling, given numerous associated negative outcomes, including inadequate prenatal care, 4,5 negative birth outcomes, [6][7][8] and adverse maternal outcomes such as postpartum depression and anxiety. 7,9,10 Recent scholarship conceptualizes pregnancy as a life event that is best understood using a lifecourse perspective with special attention to its antecedents and its subsequent effects on the lives of women.…”

“…[1][2][3][4] Some, though not all, studies have demonstrated an increased risk of perinatal outcomes, such as low birth weight, preterm birth, and lower breastfeeding rates, associated with unplanned pregnancies.

[10][11][12] There are also numerous social and economic costs, at the personal and community levels, to unplanned pregnancy.…”
