how common is pregnancy doing Freshman year of college?

[Anonymous]

it's called bing responsible. Try it. Teach it.

Pregnant yes, having and raising the baby, hell no.

Again, not common among emotionally healthy, responsible women who take birth control seriously.

Although sexually active, getting pregnant is not common.

Roughly 40% of babies in the US are born to unwed mothers. That's pretty damned common and not really up for debate!

Here is it by state: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/sosmap/unmarried/unmarried.htm

You seriously think all or even most women who have kids or get abortions are married? That's fantasyland.

Breakdown by race, please. LOL

I knew a few and they were all married to older dudes. I always wondered how to get in on that racket. Like, where does a 20 year old college student meet a single 30 year old who wants to get married and have a baby with you immediately and take care of you financially? This was pre-social media.

bars and golf clubs

Im guessing they live in a restricted abortion state.

No one I knew was having sex freshman year. Later in college there were two friends that I knew of, one had the baby and the other one did not. These were at prestigious LACs (seven sisters and similar). One friend was using double protection but was on an anti-seizure medication, and both forms failed.

What you should really be requesting is a break down by SES.

UMD Freshman class has about 4,000 kids
so let's say she knows about 100 kids
so just 2% of the population not uncoomon.

2 of my DD friends that went to a 4 year school will be having a baby by the end of the year... How common is it?

is not uncoomon

If its not uncommon then their should be more education, prevention and solutions should be in easy access. These are 17-18 year old girls, they alone can't be held responsible, school, parents, government and society should help.

Probably mostly at Catholic colleges.

Girls don't plan on having sex so they aren't on birth control, or are ashamed to ask for it.

why not? don't have sex until you can walk into a drug store and buy what you need. Yes it's embarrassing. You do it anyway. If it's too embarrassing, you're not ready. And if a teen guy thinks they are ready to have sex, they are old enough to walk into a drug store and buy condoms.
