Unplanned pregnancies in Nigeria can lead to various dangers including increased maternal mortality rates, higher risk of maternal and infant health complications, economic strain on families, and limited educational and career opportunities for young mothers.
Additionally, unsafe abortion practices, often pursued due to limited access to safe and legal abortion services, contribute significantly to maternal morbidity and mortality rates in Nigeria. Unsafe abortions can result in severe complications such as hemorrhage, infection, uterine perforation, and long-term reproductive health issues.
These dangers highlight the urgent need for comprehensive sexual and reproductive health education, access to contraception, and safe abortion services in Nigeria to mitigate the risks associated with unplanned pregnancies and unsafe abortion practices. The Government also has to review health care policies, strengthen Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) and make it easier for women to access commodities.

Unplanned pregnancy is when the people do not plan for it and it occurred,it can happen in fold of a legit couple and teenage people doing their runs up and down,this can affect the people involved psychologically, that’s y some people even ended up in abortion that can even takes their lives,last week there was a case of a student in medical department that even take her life because she was pregnant n because of the shame to her family she committed suicide, government needs to be organizing program for sensitization to avoid this act.
This is a great topic that requires loving attention by policy making and financial appropriation entities. Women deserve to be respected and they have human rights.
