Abstract Using a sample of urban American women under 33 years old and their husbands, this paper examines the relationship between normative pressures and fertility planning. In general, normative pressures, both expected and experienced, are related to parity as one would expect. Pronatal pressures decrease and antinatal pressures increase with increasing parity. However, for parity two and above, there is no evidence of a normative consensus to which persons may respond in their individual behavior.
