Mothers who Received Late or No Prenatal Care

Select a Primary Care Service Area
Measurement Period: 2017-2021
This indicator measures the percentage of resident mothers who received prenatal care after the first trimester or did not receive prenatal care at all.

Why is this important?

Babies born to mothers who do not receive prenatal care are three times more likely to have a low birth weight and five times more likely to die than those born to mothers who do get care. Early prenatal care (i.e., care in the first trimester of a pregnancy) allows women and their health care providers to identify and, when possible, treat or correct health problems and health-compromising behaviors that can be particularly damaging during the initial stages of fetal development. Increasing the number of women who receive prenatal care, and who do so early in their pregnancies, can improve birth outcomes and lower health care costs by reducing the likelihood of complications during pregnancy and childbirth.
