Background: In sub-Saharan Africa, there are 40 million pregnancies each year. Of these, one-quarter are unplanned and have negative health and socio-economic consequences. Aim: The aim of this article is to share findings on demographic characteristics of childbearing women who reported unplanned pregnancy. Methods: Botswana AIDS Impact Survey IV data were used to respond to the question, ‘What are the demographic characteristics of women who reported unplanned pregnancy in Botswana?’ The data extracted related to 311 687 women who responded to the question, ‘Have you given birth in the past 5 years?’ The authors then focused on data for 160 482 women who responded to the question ‘Was the last pregnancy planned?’ Using SPSS version 22, frequencies, means and standard deviations were calculated and demographic characteristics were analysed. Findings: More women with low educational status, unemployed, never married or cohabiting and residing in rural areas reported unplanned pregnancy. Conclusions: Unplanned pregnancy in Botswana requires targeted interventions.
