Teenage Conceptions Quality Report

This report covers the general principles and processes leading up to the production of our statistics.

Conception figures are estimates produced by the Office for National Statistics. They are derived by combining information from birth registrations and notifications of legal abortions.

The figures do not include miscarriages or illegal abortions. The date of conception is estimated using recorded gestation for abortions and stillbirths, and by assuming 38 weeks for live births. The conception figures relate to residents in an area.

Tables containing detailed information on the number of conceptions are available on StatsWales.
