Abstract
In this study of reproductive problems and women's reactions to them, 30% reported an unplanned pregnancy, 13% had infertility problems, 4% had an abortion, 18% had a miscarriage, 5% experienced infant death, 18% had difficult pregnancies or delivery, 15% had a tubal ligation, and 15% had an hysterectomy.
