NOTES:
^ Population size for groups in this table are estimates from PRAMS based on weighted numbers
	for women reporting they were not trying to get pregnant at conception.
*Survey Question 12: When you got pregnant with your new baby, were you or your husband or partner doing
	anything to keep from getting pregnant?
# There were fewer than 10 survey respondents to this question. Data may be unreliable for describing this group, therefore
	percent is not reported.
