Description:Pregnant women are classified as ‘at-risk individuals’ in the 2006 Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Act.1 Disasters have been associated with an increase in maternal risk factors among pregnant women, such as hypertensive disorders and anemia,2 and poor birth outcomes including preterm birth, low birth weight, and intrauterine growth restriction.3 Estimates of the number of pregnant women within a geographic area can provide the basis for preparing for and responding to the special needs of these women and their fetuses. This document describes the process to estimate the number of pregnant women in a United States jurisdiction at any given point in time. It also gives an example of how to calculate an estimate for a jurisdiction.
