Evidence suggests that the presence of children has a positive impact on the stability of both marital and nonmarital relationships. It is, therefore, important to understand the determinants of childbearing decisions made by couples in both types of relationships. However, while the trend and determinants of marital fertility have been well documented in Canada and other postindustrial countries. little is known about childbearing behavior within cohabitational relationships. Using data from the 1990 Friends and Family Survey and employing an uncertainty reduction 1hodel, this article attempts to shed light on the childbearing experiences of cohabiting women after their entry into a cohabitational relationship. We find that the hazard rate of a cohabiting woman bearing a child within the union is associated with her age at the start of cohabitation, her educational status, nativity, number of siblings, heterogamy in cohabiting unions, the year of the start of cohabitation, and geographic region.
