Pregnancy intentions and outcomes among young married women in Nepal
Young, newly married women in Nepal intending immediate pregnancy have higher odds of becoming pregnant. However, a substantial proportion of those hoping to delay pregnancy still experience unintended pregnancies, indicating challenges in meeting reproductive goals. The findings underscore the need for addressing barriers to contraceptive access and societal norms impacting women's reproductive autonomy in Nepal.
