A number of studies have found abortion to be associated with rapid repeat pregnancy, women becoming pregnant within a year, often to replace the aborted child with a new child. This may be an underlying factor in higher rates of premature delivery following a rapid repeat pregnancy as indicated in Preterm Birth: Causes, Consequences, and Prevention (2007) Board on Health Sciences Policy (HSP)
- Short Interpregnancy Interval and Preterm Birth
- Interpregnancy interval is defined as that interval between the termination of one pregnancy and the conception of another. Numerous investigators have found a univariate association between short interpregnancy interval and a number of adverse perinatal outcomes, including preterm birth, low birth weight, and stillbirth (Adams et al., 1997; Al-Jasmi et al., 2002; Basso et al., 1998; Blackmore-Prince et al., 2000; Brody and Bracken, 1987; Conde-Agudelo et al., 2005; Dafopoulos et al., 2002; Ekwo and Moawad, 1998; Erickson and Bjerkedal, 1978; Ferraz et al., 1988; Fuentes-Afflick and Hessol, 2000; Hsieh et al., 2005; Kallan, 1992, 1997; Klebanoff, 1988; Lang et al., 1990; Miller, 1994; Rawlings et al., 1995; Shults et al., 1999; Smith et al., 2003; Zhu and Le, 2003; Zhu et al., 2001). These published reports did not distinguish spontaneous from indicated preterm birth, however. The definition of short interpregnancy interval varies widely across studies; the most common definition is less than or equal to 6 months.
Contraceptive discontinuation and repeat unintended pregnancy within 1 year after an abortion.

- Women who had a recent abortion or previous abortion were 60% more likely to have another pregnancy during the next 12 months than women who never had an abortion (AHR=1.63, 95% CI =1.21-2.20, and AHR=1.66, 95% CI=1.18-2.33, respectively).
