A) Prevalence of alcohol-exposed pregnancies (AEPs) among the U.S. women of reproductive age, stratified by age. B) Percentage of unaware AEPs caused by drinking during an undetected pregnancy that resulted from trying to get pregnant (“Seeking Pregnancy”), from contraception failure (“Contraception Failure”), and from a sexual encounter while not using contraceptives (“No Contraception”). C-D) Prevalence of pregnancies among the U.S. women of reproductive age that are ever exposed for ≥5 and ≥9 alcoholic drinks during a week of pregnancy. The prevalence of unaware AEPs is defined as the number of pregnant women who drank while unaware of their pregnancy per 1,000 non-sterile women of reproductive age. Only pregnancies that result in a live birth are included in these estimates. Bars represent 95% uncertainty intervals.
