“…Because of their relatively young age, they usually also lack information, experience, autonomy and resources to access ANC services. Such findings have been reported in other studies conducted in Ethiopia, Australia, Belgium, and the United States [17,[28][29][30]. Younger pregnant women should be detected in their community and be advised by the health workers.…”

“…This study finding is almost similar to studies done in Nigeria and Dilla Town, Southern region, Ethiopia. 15,22 Despite having good knowledge of the importance of ANC service, many pregnant women had no behavior of seeking timely ANC initiation and only attend antenatal care when they are feeling sick. 10 In this study, pregnant women whose husbands' had the educational status of secondary and above were more likely to book early as compared to their counterparts.…”

“…This study finding is similar to a study conducted in Kham District, Debre Berhan, Dilla town, review study, and Southern Ethiopia. 4,15,17,18,24 This indicates that previous knowledge, experience, and access to sources of information and access to counseling services might have helped them to utilize maternal health services like ANC. Though knowing only about maternal health services cannot be a guarantee for initiation of ANC early, it would enhance early utilization of ANC.…”

“…For the proportion of early ANC booking, the sample size was determined using a single population proportion formula n= (Zα/2) 2 p (1-p)/d 2 with the following assumptions: the proportion of early ANC booking was taken from the previous study done in Dilla town which was 35.4%. 15 The significant level at α= 0.05, with 95% CI, a maximum acceptable marginal error of 5%, and a non-response rate of 10% was used to obtain a final sample size of 386.…”

Background: Antenatal care (ANC) is one of the most cost-effective and crucial components of maternal health care services. In developing countries where access to care, empowerment, and decision making power of women is low, ANC service is vital. The time at which first ANC visit was done has the utmost importance to ensure optimal health effects for both women and children. This study aimed to assess the proportion and factors associated with early antenatal care booking among pregnant women who were attending public health institutions in a remote area of Bule Hora district, Southern Ethiopia, from May to July, 2019. Methods: Institutional-based cross-sectional study design was conducted at Bule Hora district public health facilities. Data were collected on systematically selected 377 pregnant women from 1st May to 30th July 2019. The sample size was determined by single population proportion formula and data were collected by using a standardized and pretested questionnaire and entered into Epidata 3.1 version, and then exported to Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 25 for analysis. The strength of association was measured by odds ratios with 95% confidence interval (CI) at a p-value of <0.05 and finally obtained results were presented by using simple frequency tables, bar graph, and texts. Results: The proportion of early antenatal care booking among pregnant women attending antenatal care in the study area was 57.8%. Factors contributing to early antenatal care booking were husband's education (Adjusted odds ratio (AOR), 2.5; 95% CI: 1.2, 4.9), knowledge on antenatal care service (AOR,1.99; 95% CI:1.2,3.3), means of approving current pregnancy (AOR,1.8; 95% CI:1.1,2.8), and being advised before starting antenatal care visit (AOR,2.1; 95% CI:1.2,3.6). Conclusion: Generally, the timely initiation of ANC among pregnant mothers is not ideal. Modifiable factors like husband's education, knowledge on antenatal care service, means of recognizing current pregnancy, and access to pre-ANC advice were found determinants for the timely initiation of ANC. Thus, it is advisable to provide proper information about antenatal care services by health care providers and enhancement of health extension program to increase community awareness before and during pregnancy at all levels of health care provision is very important.

ObjectivesTo assess the compliance of WHO guidelines on the timeliness of antenatal care (ANC) initiation in Nigeria and its associated factors and to provide subcountry analysis of disparities in the timing of the first ANC in Nigeria.DesignCross-sectional.SettingNationally representative data of most recent pregnancies between 2013 and 2018 in Nigeria.ParticipantsWomen with pregnancies within 5 years before the study.Primary and secondary outcome measuresThe outcome variable was the trimesters of the first ANC contact. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, bivariable and multivariable multinomial logistic regression at 5% significance level.ResultsOf all the 21 785 respondents, 75% had at least one ANC contact during their most recent pregnancies within the five years preceding the data collection. Among which 24% and 63% started in the first and second trimester, respectively. The proportion who started ANC in the first trimester was highest in Benue (44.5%), Lagos (41.4%) and Nasarawa (39.3%) and lowest in Zamfara (7.6%), Kano (7.4%) and Sokoto (4.8%). Respondents aged 40–49 years were 65% (adjusted relative risk ratio (aRRR: 1.65, 95 % CI: 1.10 to 2.45) more likely to initiate ANC during the first trimester of pregnancy relative to those aged 15–19 years. Although insignificant, women who participate in their healthcare utilisation were 4% (aRRR: 1.04, 95 % CI: 0.90 to 1.20) times more likely to have early initiation of ANC. Other significant factors were respondents’ and spousal educational attainment, household wealth quintiles, region of residence, ethnicity, religion and birth order.ConclusionsOnly a quarter of pregnant women, initiated ANC contact during the first trimester with wider disparities across the states in Nigeria and across the background characteristics of the pregnant women. There are needs to enhance women’s autonomy in healthcare utilisation. Concerted efforts on awareness creation and empowerment for women by all stakeholders in maternal and child healthcare are antidotes for early ANC contact initiation.
