Vasectomy Unintended pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of morbidity for women, and with health behaviors during pregnancy that are associated with adverse effects. For example, women with an unintended pregnancy may delay prenatal care, which may affect the health of the infant. Women of all ages may have unintended pregnancies, but some groups, such as teens, are at a higher risk. Reproductive Health In 2001, approximately one-half of pregnancies in the United States were Home unintended (Finer 2006, Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Data and Statistics Health), and the United States has set a national goal of decreasing Publications and unintended pregnancies to 30% by 2010.

  • Preventing Unplanned Pregnancy: Lessons from the States
    JUNE 2019 Preventing Unplanned Pregnancy: Lessons from the States Isabel V. Sawhill Katherine Guyot Executive Summary In the context of a looming debate about women’s reproductive health, this paper reviews what we have learned about strategies for reducing unplanned pregnancies and births, especially at the state level. Our primary findings and conclusions are: • Unintended pregnancies are at an all-time low in the U.S. but still represent about 45% of all pregnancies. (Unintended pregnancies include those that women themselves say they did not want or that occurred earlier than they desired. We use “unintended” and “unplanned” interchangeably in this paper.) • About 40% of unplanned pregnancies end in abortion, while the other 60% result in a birth. The result is that about one-third of all births are unplanned. • Unintended pregnancies and births are most common among young unmarried women, especially teens and the most disadvantaged. However, these groups have also seen the largest declines in unintended pregnancy rates in recent years. • The reasons behind these declines remain somewhat obscure, but two potential reasons stand out. The first is changes in social norms around women’s roles, with more women expected to work, to get some postsecondary education, and to support their families, making unplanned childbearing more costly and the benefits of delay much greater. The second reason is greater access to and use of the most effective forms of contraception, such as long-acting reversible contraceptives. Other factors that could have played a role include the Great Recession and a decline in sexual activity. • Low-income women tend to have the least access to contraception through employer- sponsored health insurance, and many rely on publicly subsidized family planning services.

  • Unintended Pregnancy and Abortion in the USA: Epidemiology and Public Health Impact
    BLBK137-Paul February 13, 2009 13:25 CHAPTER 3 3 Unintended pregnancy and abortion in the USA: Epidemiology and public health impact Stanley K. Henshaw, PhD LEARNING POINTS r Unintended pregnancy occurs frequently in the USA, especially among women who are young, have low income, are Black or Hispanic, or have had a prior unintended pregnancy. r Unintended pregnancy and abortion result about equally from non-use of contraception and imperfect use, which in turn are related to chance-taking, problems with contraceptive methods, not expecting to have sex, and barriers to access to contraception. r Women with unwanted pregnancies have many reasons for choosing abortion, the most common of which are inadequate finances, lack of partner support, desire to continue education or career, not wanting more children, and feeling too immature. r The US abortion rate has been falling in recent years, especially among teenagers. r Although repeat abortion is often a source of concern, the data provide no justification for prejudicial attitudes.

    INFORMATION ON HORMONAL CONTRACEPTION University of Miami Student Health Service (305) 284-9100 [email protected] www.miami.edu/student-health Appointments/results: myuhealthchart.com BIRTH CONTROL PILLS: When used correctly and consistently, birth control pills are one of the most effective means available for prevention of pregnancy. Although no method is 100% effective, with proper use the pregnancy rate is considerably less than 1%. The information below is intended as a supplement to the package insert that accompanies your birth control pills, and serves to answer the most frequently asked questions. Be sure to also read the package insert, which contains more complete information, and to discuss additional concerns and special situations with your health care provider. Please read this information completely and save for future reference. WARNING: Smoking and the use of hormonal contraceptives are not recommended, especially in women over age 35. If you smoke you should stop. Talk to your health care provider if you need help quitting. Birth control pills do not protect you from getting sexually transmitted infections. We advise you to use CONDOMS as additional protection against unintended pregnancy and as protection against sexually transmitted infections. Although condoms do not provide complete protection, if used properly, they can decrease the likelihood of contracting an STD. Options for starting the pill: Most Common Method: Quick Start: If you are absolutely certain you’re not pregnant, you can start the pill now and use back-up contraception (i.e. condoms) for at least 7 days. Alternative Methods: Day 1 Start: Start pills on first day of a normal menstrual cycle.

This equates to $371 per woman aged 15-44 in Florida, compared with $201 per woman nationally. 5 Consequences of Unplanned Pregnancies The consequences of unintended pregnancy include: Poor pregnancy outcomes (i.e., low birth weight, preterm birth, small for gestational age) Delayed initiation of prenatal care Lower breastfeeding rates Higher risk of maternal depression and potential future child maltreatment 6 Consequences of Short Interpregnancy Interval Interpregnancy interval is defined as the time between the delivery date of the previous birth and the conception date of the current pregnancy. Short interpregnancy interval, pregnancy occurring less than 18 months from a previous delivery, is associated with poor maternal and infant outcomes, including preterm birth, low birthweight and preeclampsia. 7 Short Interpregnancy Interval Between 40 and 57% of women resume sexual activity before their postpartum check-up Up to 40% of women do not return for their 6-week postpartum visit 40-75% of women who plan to use an IUD postpartum do not obtain it At least 70% of pregnancies in the first year postpartum are unintended 8 FloridaCHARTS 9 CONTRACEPTIVE OPTIONS 10 Contraceptive Options 11 Why LARC?
