Differential fertility by the result of the previous pregnancy

Comment on ‘Facts and Artifacts in the Study of Intra-Uterine Mortality: A Reconsideration from Pregnancy Histories’ by Henri Léridon1

 

Abstract

Extract

I have suggested that at a given birth order the probability of having a further pregnancy is greater when the last pregnancy had been spontaneously aborted than when it resulted in a birth.2 Léridon,3in the course of a valuable paper on foetal wastage, presents data which, according to him, impugn my suggestion. I would like to question his claim.
