Unwanted pregnancy simply means unintended or unplanned pregnancy at the time of conception. This usually results from not using any form of contraception, wrong or inconsistent use of contraception, contraceptive failure, forced sex(rape). The rate of unplanned pregnancies has been on the increase especially among teenage girls and a significant proportion of children born in recent times are products of unintended pregnancies. This has resulted in a significant increase in the number of people seeking for the voluntary termination of pregnancies(induced abortion).

Unplanned pregnancy can easily be prevented through the use of various reversible modern contraceptives as failure rate is rare when used properly. It is important to note that unplanned pregnancies is not just a problem of the singles, as there has been increase in the number of married couples seeking for induced abortion. A breast feeding woman can get pregnant from about 10 days after childbirth!

An online poll revealed that 48% of single adults use contraceptives in the prevention of unwanted pregnancy while 29% abstain from sex. About 10% use the ineffective withdrawal method with very high failure rate and 13% do nothing towards preventing unwanted pregnancy.

Absteinance....the best way

That's true.
How long can you abstain? Many people above 30years are still single these days.
