As life course frameworks highlight and gerontological studies confirm, the health implications of early birth timing (e.g., adolescent births) and unplanned births (e.g., unwanted or mistimed births) extend years after those births into mid- and later-life. Yet past research often overlooks the considerable diversity in sequencing and...
Existing studies demonstrate that unplanned births (e.g., unwanted, mistimed) are associated with worse health for mothers in the short-term and—according to some preliminary evidence—in mid- and later-life. Yet as life course and reproductive career frameworks highlight, childbearing experiences often unfold over a number of years, with a consider...
