Our company employs lots of Polish staff, and many of the young women seem to get pregnant very quickly after coming to the UK. I don't think it's to get benefits (these people are in the UK legally, and they waive their rights to benefits for a certain period after arriving - also, many of them actually travel home to give birth back in Poland).
Is it purely because Poland is a catholic country, or is something else going on?
PS: This isn't intended to be a racist question - I am genuinely interested.

Having lived there for a couple of years, I noticed that the Poles get married and have kids alot earlier than we tend to in the UK.
Some of it is cultural, and religion has historically played some part in it. However, contemporarily, much of it is down to pure socio-economics - i.e. alot of Poles lived at home longer as well for financial reasons, going to universities closer to home if they stayed in education. Getting married provided an opportunity - and real possibility of moving out and having their own place with their spouse.
Not wanting to generalise, however, contemporarily the trend may be falling more in line with here - i.e. later births and marriages, etc, as rising disposable income is effecting social change.

Clearly it can't be to gt benefits, since they wouldn't be entitled to any benefits before completing a cetain period of employment here.
I think it must be a combination of the factors already mentioned - the ages of the women, being typically the age that people, especially in Poland, start having children, the fact of sudden freedom from living at home, and perhaps just coincidence - not many Poles I've come across have got pregnant.

Once infertility has been diagnosed, there are a number of treatment options available depending on the root cause of the problem. Learn here https://tr.im/azM1N
Infertility is a condition defined as not being able to become pregnant after at least one year of unprotected, regular, well-timed intercourse. Women who suffer from multiple miscarriages may also be diagnosed as infertile. Infertility may be classified into two groups, primary and secondary infertility.

Could it simply be because the majority of the people who come to Britain from Eastern Europe do so between the ages of 20 and 30, which also happens to be the time of life when people tend to have children?
I live in Edinburgh, and my part of the city in particular is absolutely crawling with Eastern Europeans. A Polish newsagent has recently opened round the corner from my flat. It's great - there are beautiful, tall, tanned chicks all over my neighbourhood! (N.B. if Zachaetta is reading, they're not as beautiful as you, dear.)
As far as I can see, the Eastern Europeans that come here do so with an extremely positive work ethic. I've never before been served so quickly in my local! Even the leader of UKIP employed Polish workmen to do work on his house because "they work so much harder" than British workmen. As far as I'm concerned, the majority of claims about Eastern Europeans coming to Britain to sponge off the welfare state is just more of the usual tabloid vomit. (I believe it was the Daily Mail that warned of "murderous hordes" coming here when the EU expanded. Murderous hordes! How can it be legal to print such incitement to racist hatred?)

A bit weird question. I am Polish myself and know a lot of Polish girls living in the UK and none of them got pregnant in the past years. I think that maybe it is just a coincidence that you have met so many of women who got pregnant quickly.
