Background: Knowing the approximate number of women of reproductive age (ie, 15-49 years) who are pregnant at a point in time in the United States can aid in emergency preparedness resource allocation. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a pregnancy estimator toolkit in 2012, which could be used to estimate the number of pregnant people in a geographic area at a point in time. This original toolkit did not account for pregnancy losses before 20 weeks of gestation; however, an updated toolkit released by the CDC in May 2024 uses a ratio of live births to estimate the number of pregnancy losses before 20 weeks at a point in time for improved estimation of total pregnant people at a point in time.
