unintended pregnancy

Unintended pregnancy occurs when a person becomes pregnant without planning or desiring it at that time. This can happen due to various reasons, such as inadequate contraception, failure of birth control methods, or lack of awareness about reproductive health. Unintended pregnancies can lead to challenges for individuals and families, affecting emotional well-being, finances, and life plans. They can result in decisions to continue the pregnancy, seek adoption, or consider termination. Understanding and addressing unintended pregnancies involves improving access to education, healthcare, and contraceptive options for better reproductive choices.
