Abstract:

This study examined the number of North Carolina resident deliveries of live births and fetal deaths according to illegitimate, premarital, and postmarital conceptions. The results showed striking similarities between the premarital and illegitimate populations. Fetal and infant mortality were significantly higher in the illegitimate group than the other two groups.
