Abstract

According to National Family Health Survey (NFHS-III 2005-06) less than half of women get 3 or 3 plus ANC visits. Even today more than half of the total deliveries are done at home and among them about 50 % are not assisted by health personals. Because of this, there has been a higher rate of maternal morbidity and mortality. Present paper attempts to find the factors which influence the use of maternal health care services during antenatal period. The result reveals factors like caste, educational level, religion, wealth index, birth order, residence, maternal age and exposure to mass media are significant predictors in explaining ante-natal care.

Keywords: Antenatal Care; Predictors, Socioeconomic Factors; Demographic Factors.
