Pregnanci end preterm birth (10.7%) and low birthweight (9.0%), stillbirths (2–4%), and misrriag (17–21%) sexual mory women. We observed that pregnanci reported by Hispanic lbian women had a higher birthweight (β = 10.71, SE = 4.1, p-value = 0.01) pared to fants born to Hispanic heterosexual-WSM. Pregnanci to lbian women were signifintly more likely to end stillbirth (aRR = 3.58, 95% CI 1.30,9.79) pared to heterosexual-WSM. No signifint differenc were noted risk of adverse birth out by sexual orientatn for NH Black or Hispanic women. In this sample, preterm births were ls likely to occur among heterosexual-WSW than heterosexual-WSM. Pregnanci to lbians and bisexual women were more likely to end misrriage or stillbirth than heterosexual WSM. Lbian Hispanic women reported higher birthweights pared to heterosexual-WSM Hispanic women. More rearch should be done to further unrstand the fdgs.
