- Abstract
This prospective cross‐sectional study of 1498 pregnant women in early pregnancy sought to investigate the prevalence of pregnancy intention between women of differing body mass index (BMI) categories. There was no difference in the risk of unintended pregnancy between women who were in the healthy weight, overweight or obesity BMI categories. The study identifies and highlights the potential missed opportunities for all women to engage in healthy reproductive life planning behaviours to support health in pregnancy and beyond.
