“…The outpouring of support may send a message that unintended childbearing is not a big deal-that it can be managed and perhaps may even become an unexpected source of joy. These potential positive outcomes, combined with ambivalence about contraceptive use from partners, concerns (or misconceptions) about side effects (Kendall et al 2005), and widespread examples of individuals with unintended (usually nonmarital) childbearing both within the community and in society overall, may simply lessen low-income women's motivation to avoid pregnancy. It is not clear whether this possible pathway is relevant across other socioeconomic strata as well as for disadvantaged women.…”

Research on unintended fertility tends to focus on births as isolated events. This article expands previous research by examining the relationship between early unintended childbearing and subsequent fertility dynamics in the United States. Data from the 2002 National Survey of Family Growth show that 27.5% of mothers report an unintended first birth. We use event history methods to show that these women are significantly more likely than women with an intended first birth to have an unintended second birth than to have either no second birth or an intended second birth, net of sociodemographic characteristics. An unintended first birth also increases the risk of having an unintended third birth relative to no birth or an intended birth, independent of the intendedness of the second birth. We conclude that early unintended fertility is a strong signal of high risk for subsequent unintended fertility.

Resumo Introdução Este estudo busca compreender os limites e barreiras associados à prevenção e ao teste de diagnóstico do HIV entre profissionais do sexo feminino. Métodos Foram analisadas as narrativas sobre a relação entre práticas sexuais, prostituição, amor e família, associadas à prevenção das doenças sexualmente transmissíveis. Utilizou-se a metodologia qualitativa do Rapid Anthropological Assessment (Avaliação antropológica rápida). A população pesquisada foi de 37 mulheres profissionais do sexo com idade entre 18 e 50 anos de Fortaleza, Ceará. Resultados A análise apontou que a decisão de realizar ou não o teste anti-HIV está muito mais vinculada à construção subjetiva sobre quem é o parceiro, cliente ou não, do que ao risco de se ter uma relação desprotegida. A compreensão provocou junto às participantes uma reflexão sobre a necessidade de gerenciar seus riscos de modo integral. Conclusão Conclui-se que estudar a produção de sentido pode contribuir para uma maior adesão dessas mulheres a práticas que, ao mesmo tempo, sejam seguras e viáveis, independentemente do parceiro.

“…"Planning" can include setting an individual intention, taking action to conceive or avoid conception, and/or making broader life preparations to have or expand a family (Barrett and Wellings, 2002;Lifflander et al, 2007;Santelli et al, 2003). Furthermore, there is significant evidence that many U.S. women feel ambivalence about pregnancy and some do not find the idea of carefully planning their fertility as relevant, useful, or possible (Barrett and Wellings, 2002;Higgins et al, 2012;Kendall et al, 2005). Investigations of attitudes about fertility planning typically focus on women, and to a lesser extent, men.…”
