Mistimed pregnancy is gathered by asking mothers “Thinking back to just before you got pregnant with your new baby, how did you feel about becoming pregnant?” Women who answer “I wanted to be pregnant later” or “I didn’t want to be pregnant then or at any time in the future” are considered to have had a mistimed pregnancy.
PRAMS is the only source of data on pregnancy timing rates in Virginia.
