title: [An epidemiological study on unwanted pregnancy].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To define the profile of the woman with an unwanted pregnancy (UWP) and to analyse differences between wanted pregnancies (WP) and UWP.
  
  
  METHODS
  Longitudinal and retrospective observation study.
  
  
  METHODS
  La Chana Health Centre, Granada.
  
  
  METHODS
  511 pregnancies.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Pregnant women were grouped according to whether their pregnancy was WP or UWP. 29.4% of all pregnancies were UWP. 70.5% of pregnancies in under-19s and 75% in over-35s are UWP (chi2 = 12.24; p = 0.00046 regarding the 19 to 35 age group). Women with WP first attend for prenatal care before women with UWP (chi 2 = 10.5; p = 0.0018).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  There is a high proportion of UWP, especially among women under 19 and over 35. We defined two profiles of women at risk of UWP.
