Prostitutes often have been infertile due to STD or some of them had experience with pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood. The main aim of this chapter is to describe the relationship between prostitution and motherhood in Czechia during the twentieth century. The chapter explores what birth control methods were used by prostitutes, cases of prostitutes and their strategies adopted to dealt with motherhood. The research design will be based on an analysis and the interpretations of medical, political, moral, and social discourse."	prostitution; motherhood; family; twentieth century; Czechoslovakia; contraception; prostitutes; children; STD
