However, little is known about attitudes, desires, and intentions regarding pregnancy among people with disabilities. This exploratory qualitative study aimed to understand the reproductive life planning experiences of women and gender\u2010diverse people with physical, intellectual, and developmental disabilities.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We used purposeful sampling to recruit 29 reproductive\u2010aged individuals with physical, intellectual, and\/or developmental disabilities living in Ontario, Canada. We conducted semi\u2010structured interviews virtually in 2020\u20132021. We audio\u2010recorded the interviews and used thematic analysis to synthesize the data.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Many societal, structural, interpersonal, and individual factors shaped participants' reproductive life planning experiences. External perceptions of disability and parenthood, silence and stigma about sexuality from parents, barriers to accessible reproductive healthcare, and socioeconomic challenges were important factors. Partner dynamics, including experiences of sexual violence, perceived vulnerability in reproductive life plans, management of co\u2010occurring health conditions and safety, and apprehensions related to pregnancy and childbirth also influenced participants' experiences. Participants' reproductive aspirations were positively shaped by self\u2010advocacy and their support networks, with resilience prominently shaping their reproductive life planning experiences.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The persistence of societal biases and structural barriers, including ableism and disability microaggressions, experienced by participants highlights a need for inclusive social and healthcare environments that support the reproductive rights of women and gender\u2010diverse people with disabilities. Training for healthcare providers, tailored reproductive health resources for people with disabilities, and enhanced support networks are needed to foster positive reproductive life planning experiences for this population.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/psrh.70079","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,22]],"date-time":"2026-08-22T01:35:41Z","timestamp":1787362541000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Understanding the Reproductive Life Planning Experiences of People With Disabilities in Ontario, Canada: A Qualitative Exploration"],"prefix":"10.1111","author":[{"given":"Momina","family":"Khan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health and Society University of Toronto Scarborough  Toronto Ontario Canada"},{"name":"Midwifery Education Program Toronto Metropolitan University  Toronto Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hilary K.","family":"Brown","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health and Society University of Toronto Scarborough  Toronto Ontario Canada"},{"name":"Dalla Lana School of Public Health University of Toronto  Toronto Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yona","family":"Lunsky","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Azrieli Adult Neurodevelopmental Centre Centre for Addiction and Mental Health  Toronto Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lesley A.","family":"Tarasoff","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dalla Lana School of Public Health University of Toronto  Toronto Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ypmed.2023.107707"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.15296\/ijwhr.2019.49"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/humrep\/dex267"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0268012"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.15185\/izawol.228.v2"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.11634\/216796221302332"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.heliyon.2023.e14405"},{"issue":"168","key":"e_1_2_8_9_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Practical Education in Family Planning: Integrative Review","volume":"10","author":"Silva C.
