The numbers of cases are very high, classifying it as a public health problem, which needs to be studied.

The execution was made through scientific articles and programs of health organizations. Discussion: Twenty references were used for the study.

However, as much as there are preventive programs for early pregnancy, the numbers remain high, characterizing their low efficiency.
