More than 40 years after the Neuwirth law allowing the contraception in France, the births are a carefully planned chosen and same evenement: 8 babies out of 10 are wanted. The future moms even have one season of predilection to give birth: the spring! Tower of horizon of the birth in the hexagon. With more of 800 000 births every year, France is one of the champions of Europe of the fertility. But these pregnancies are all wanted and planned? It is what to know the National institute of Demographic studies wanted. ..Of the wanted births! Today in France, 8 births out of 10 are wanted. A consequence of course of the Neuwirth law of 1967, that gave to the women the access to the contraception. They are besides today more of 60% to take the pill. And since 1975, they can also have resort to the interruption voluntary of pregnancy (IVG). It is why today, 80% of the women make a baby when they really wish it, whereas they were less 60% in this case in 1970. ..Pregnancies non planned Certainly, he/it remains however 20% of the births that are not planned, result of the famous "accident". The half of these women fell pregnant with a little advance in relation to what they had foreseen. The other half of the babies is descended of a pregnancy which the mom didn't expect at all." Among the reasons of these pregnancies non planned, one notes the oblivions of pill of course. And many couples practice the withdrawal or the Ogino method, that have a rate of failure of 5 to 6% again. These 20% of births non planned correspond thus to "accidents" where the women decide to keep the child nevertheless. to have an idea of the total number of pregnancies non wanted, it is necessary to add the interruptions voluntary of pregnancy therefore (a few more of 200 000 per year): to the final, one has one so a third of pregnancies that is not foreseen. ..The conditions to make a baby In any case, today not only the births are wanted, but they must answer to always more of requirements. Indeed, the couples impose themselves of the strict settings before getting involved in the big adventure. Thus, 97% of the women want a steady couple before making a baby. Besides, it is necessary that one of the two spouses has a work for 90% of the women and 84% of the men. And one sees to emerge also like requirement makes it "to have benefitted of his couple life before making a baby." Other constraint to make a baby: the gap between the children. The women want a second child who is not too near nor too much far from the first. The privileged gap is on average of three years in France. ..The best season to give birth The control of fertility also entailed a surprising enough phenomenon: henceforth, the women want to choose the season to which they are going to give birth! Indeed, close to a couple out of five stops the contraception according to the month of the year, to foresee baby's arrival. Done the season prefer for the birth? The spring! It is the period judged the most pleasant to give birth, after the cold weather of the winter and before the big heats of the summer. besides, it allows some professions to reconcile private life and professional calendar: the teachers for example, that have a baby in April, can link holiday motherhood and school vacations. To the inverse however, the women settings or the independent professions prefer to give birth the summer, when their work is less asset. In any case, difficult to plan baby's arrival really, because the conception is far from being an exact science!
