Core Tip	Unintended pregnancy was found to significantly affect the resultant children’s growth and development. The children of unplanned pregnancies more frequently presented undernutrition, abnormal growth patterns, emotional disorders, and developmental delays. To mitigate such risks to the child’s growth and development, early intervention, comprehensive prenatal care, and improved access to family planning are essential.
