Those who recognized their pregnancy within 6 weeks (81.7%) had their
first antenatal care visit 1.26 weeks (95%CI:-1.59; -0.93) earlier than
those who recognized their pregnancy after 6 weeks. All factors were
significantly associated with timing of antenatal care initiation.
Modeling a situation in which people would recognize their pregnancy
within 6 weeks resulted in a significant reduction in the inequalities
in antenatal care initiation for age, migration background, pregnancy
intention, education, employment, household income, housing, and
neighborhood deprivation.
