AB  - Unintended pregnancies are a complex phenomenon in Bangladesh 
        due to various factors. It is found that complex set of relationship exists 
        among the various socioeconomic, cultural and demographic events, which 
        slightly affect the fertility in Bangladesh and can provide us a preliminary 
        idea of how important each variable is by itself. Result shows that women 
        in Bangladesh a significant proportion of pregnancies were unintended 
        and the level of unintended pregnancy was slightly higher among urban 
        women as compared to rural women (32.80% versus 31.00%) according to the 
        bivariate analysis. Findings need to be scientifically used in suitable 
        programs addressing the case of fertility control in the developing countries 
        as well as in Bangladesh.
