Women have been fulfilling their reproductive responsibility of propagating human race, many have died and many more faced death in the process of delivering babies, but this can be prevented by taking appropriated antenatal care, clean and safe delivery and essential obstetric care. Antenatal care is the first phase to be encountered once a woman has conceived. The objective of the study was to assess the antenatal (AN) care practice and pregnancy outcome of ever-married women aged 18 to 49 years old having at least one pregnancy experience, residing in kampongs of Kudat area, Sabah, East Malaysia, Northern Borneo from December 2015 to October 2016. Cross–sectional analytical study, non-probability convenient sampling method was used and 300 eligible participants were interviewed face to face by trained interviewer using pretested questionnaire. 99.3% of all the women received AN care, and 97% of the women received AN care practice (AN visit of 4 times and above). Mean AN visit was 9 times. The study revealed that overall knowledge amongst the women with good knowledge was 47.2% and low knowledge was 52.8%. Additionally, there was significant association between education and knowledge, income and knowledge, AN care practices and knowledge. But there was no significant association between AN practice and complication. Despite these results, outcomes were good and all complications were properly and successfully addressed. This may reflect the effectiveness of current national maternal health programs.

Lack of information, socio-cultural barriers, economic and geographical barriers in maintaining the health of pregnant women are the causes. The results of studies conducted by several experts on the factors The factors affecting ANC visits include demographic, situational, and psychosocial factors as well as the mother's reaction to her pregnancy, late pregnancy diagnosis and contemplation of abortion and the availability of social support. Antenatal care (ANC) is intended to inform the development of health policies and services relevant to clinical protocols. The components of the ANC include: risk identification; prevention and management of pregnancy-related or concomitant diseases; and health education and health promotion.

Appropriate antenatal care (ANC) is one of the pillars of this initiative. Antenatal care is considered as a backbone of obstetrical services of any health of pregnant women and is the way in which maternal and fetal complications are detected and managed. It highlights the care of antenatal mothers as an important element in maternal healthcare as appropriate care will lead to successful pregnancy outcome and healthy babies. Safe motherhood by providing good antenatal care (ANC) is very important to reduce maternal mortality ratio and infant mortality rate and to achieve millennium development goals. Mothers and children comprise approximately 71.14 percent of the population of the developing countries. MMR among Indian women national average of MMR is 212 per 100,000 live births (SRS-2007-2009) which in itself is very high compared to the international scenario. Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) in India is 40.5 deaths/1,000 live births (SRS-2013), In male 39.2 deaths/1,000 live births and in female 41.8 deaths/1,000 live births is compared to the IMR in Uttarakhand is 34 deaths/1,000 live births (SRS, 2012). The World Health Organization (WHO) reported that in 2015 around 830 women died every day from problems in pregnancy and childbirth only 5 of the women who died lived in high income countries, the rest of the women lived in low income countries. The objective of the present study is awareness about the ANC among pregnant women, knowledge and practices regarding elements of ANC care and to give suggestions to improve the maternal health practices. The study area: Haldwani (Nainital), study population: all pregnant women registered in Government hospital in Haldwani, study design: cross sectional study, study period: January, 2017 to February, 2017. Graphical presentation is used to describe the results of the various factors responsible for ANC. The study shows that ANC women, 15.56 % are illiterate so they are not aware about their health during their pregnancy and health workers don't provide them adequate information about the Government schemes. Maximum number of pregnant women are aware of their health and fetus, visit health centers regularly for their ANC checkups. They are agreed that smoking and alcohol consumption is bad for fetus as it causes growth retardation. Some of the pregnant women are agreed for the IFA tablet supplementation during pregnancy instead of that they are not taking IFA tablets during their pregnancy. Some of the respondents are delivered their baby at home because of their fear of miscarriage or risk at hospital.
Nutritional status and reproductive health of Orang Asli women in two villages in Kuantan, Pahang
1998
The study was conducted to determine the nutritional status and reproductive health of 34 Orang Asli women, aged 16-45 years, from two Orang Asli villages in Kuantan, Pahang Darul Makmur. The results of the study indicate that on the whole, the women's nutritional status is generally not satisfactory. Their mean iron intakes for example, are very low, about one-quarter to one-third of the required level. All their other mean nutrient intake levels are below the required level. Only their mean intake of vitamin C exceeds the required level due to their frequent intake of raw vegetables. Their main source of carbohydrate is rice, while their main source of protein is fish, and their main source of minerals and vitamins are Chinese mustard and cabbage. From BMI measurements, it is found that less than half of the women (42.9%) have normal weight, 35.7% suffer from chronic energy deficiency (CED), 7.1% (one) are overweight, and 14.3% (two) are obese. The accessibility and availability of food are a problem for the women, limiting their choice of varieties of food sources. For their reproductive health needs, the pregnant women rely on the government hospital and clinics for their antenatal check-ups and birth deliveries. Of all the women, nine suffer from menstrual pain and five from vaginal discharge. Food taboos and cultural practices are practised by the pregnant women during their confinement. It is concluded that the nutritional status of the women needs to be improved since most of them have insufficient nutrient intake.

Assessment of Antenatal Care (ANC) and Demography Parameters on Pregnant Women in Bangladesh
IOSR Journal of Nursing and Health Science, 2017
In recent decades, the improvement of public health area is greatly excelled, but still the mortality rate of infant and child remains unacceptably high. In developing countries like Bangladesh, primary healthcare services including antenatal care (ANC) services are not universally available. In Bangladesh, it is very important to survey the different parameters of ANC that the pregnant women are taking from various maternity clinics and it is also important to know the demographic parameters of these pregnant women for healthy delivery. In this study, ANC and demographic scenario was surveyed on pregnant mothers by including the parameters of ANC such as medication, vaccination, growth monitoring information, resting time at day time, complications/physical problems, change of food intake, net weight gain; and demographic parameters such as religion, educational qualification, family members, marital age, monthly food expenditure. Among 147 studied respondent pregnant mothers, 92.5% were Muslims and 7.5% were Hindus; 52.4% had a family size of 1-3 members and only 6.8% had more than or equal to 7 members. 95.9% of respondents had formal education. It was also found that 81.6% of pregnant women did not take any medication during their gestational period, 97.3% had gone through vaccination program, 83% took 2 hours standard day time rest, 91.8% gained standard 11.0 kg weight, 75.5% were not concern about the nutritional care and the change of food intake during pregnancy. The ANC improved the maternal health and reduced the delivery related complications among the participating pregnant women. We hope this study will make the women much more aware for taking the antenatal care services for their healthy delivery.

To describe the socio-demographic characteristics and utilization pattern of antenatal care of reproductive age group women (15-49 years) in an urban squatter settlement of Karachi and to assess and compare the knowledge on antenatal care between women who received and those who did not receive antenatal care. Methods: A community-based cross sectional survey was conducted and a sample of 323 women was taken through systematic sampling. Two hundred ninety five (295) women were interviewed and 28 were excluded, as they never experienced a pregnancy. Sociodemographic characteristics and knowledge about antenatal care were compared on the basis of having received and not having received antenatal care, utilizing bivariate and multivariate analysis. Results: Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that higher income women were twice likely to use antenatal care services (AOR=2.11 95% Cl 1.14-3.89) than those of lower income. Women receiving antenatal care were more knowledgeable about the importance of dietary protein (AOR=1 .97 95% Cl 1.16-3.33), intake of green leafy vegetables for the prevention of anemia (AOR=2.34 95% Cl 1.33-4.11), and reporting danger signs (AOR=2.25 95% Cl 1.07-4.74). Conclusion:Women of reproductive age need to recognize the importance of receiving antenatal care in the community. Uplifting the socio-economic status and literacy rate of women is required to provide community based education. There is a potential need to increase nutrition education, highlighting the importance of iron supplementation, appropriate food during pregnancy recognition of signs and symptoms and danger signs and pregnancy (JPMA 53:47;2003).
