“…This study also agreed with the study on the visit of antenatal clinic in Shanghai China, which reported that women attending ANC demonstrated a high degree of knowledge about the importance of visiting ANC and breastfeeding of babies. In addition, they also found that greater numbers of pregnant women were very knowledgeable about child immunization (95.8 percent), 71 per cent of women agreed that antenatal care is necessary, but contrary to the finding of this study, more than half of the women in China did not know the first gestational month that determine their first antenatal visit [18].

“…For example, a study on the use of Ante Natal Care (ANC) showed that 71 percent of women worldwide utilize ANC services and in industrialized countries 95 percent, South Asia -54 percent and SubSaharan Africa 64 percent of women utilize ANC services [11]. Women knowledge is considered one of the key factors that enable them to be aware of their right to health and to seek for appropriate health services [12]. An attitude was viewed as positive or negative evaluation of people, events, activities or ideas in the environment that emerges out of personal experience.…”

“…40 The exclusion of migrants from National Health Service Surveys may have biased the results by affecting trends and income inequalities in institutional births in urban areas. Since migrant women usually belong to the lowest income group and seldom use formal services, 41,42 we may have overestimated the proportion of institutional births among the urban poor. Second, rural counties were classified into socioeconomic strata more than 15 years ago and their status could have changed.…”

Abstract: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.
