Reported Pregnancies
Vital Statistics
2014 Reported Pregnancies
Overview
The data presented are for all North Carolina
pregnancies. Total pregnancies represent the sum of all induced abortions, live
births, and fetal deaths 20 or more weeks of gestation reported in the state.
Not included are spontaneous fetal deaths (still births) occurring prior to 20
weeks gestation, which are not reportable to the state. Special emphasis is
placed on abortions, given that they are not reported in other SCHS
publications.
NOTE: All tables below are provided in both rtf (Rich Text Format) for file downloading and in pdf (Portable Document Format) for on-screen viewing and easy printout.
The number of induced termination of pregnancy (abortion) forms submitted to the State Center for Health Statistics (SCHS) was underreported from 2011-2014. Please use caution when interpreting abortion and pregnancy numbers and rates from 2011-2014.

A note about county-level fetal death rates:
Single year fetal death rates are not routinely created due to problems with
rates based on small numbers. Therefore, only county numbers are presented
in this report. If you are interested in fetal death rates by county, please
refer to the 5 year fetal death rates reported in NC Vital Statistics, Volume
1.
