In 2013, a study led my Herring and published in the ''[[British Medical Journal]]'' reported that roughly one in every 200 women in the US had given birth naturally but claimed to be virgins at the time of birth. Herring suggested that the result might be a combination of data collection errors and respondents being unwilling to admit to having intercourse.{{r|abc|npost}}
