The quantitative study tests whether educational advantage in early life impacts the likelihood of unintended pregnancy among adult females using a nationally representative survey of young adults and multinomial logistic regression. I find that educational advantage predicts pregnancy intention of first births; specifically, high-advantage women were more likely to have their pregnancies classified as unintended. This finding suggests that pregnancy intention differentials by education emerge from early education processes that shape the desire to enter motherhood.
