Background: Antenatal care (ANC) is an opportunity to encourage a positive pregnancy experience and improved maternal and child survival. Care in the antenatal period is also essential for supporting the long-term growth and development of the child. ANC visits are vital for providing counselling to mothers about the care they should take during pregnancy and in preparation for childbirth. The principal objective of the study was to evaluate the utilization of antenatal care services in rural population of North India.Methods: The present community based cross-sectional study was conducted among 200 mothers over a period of Eight months. A semi structured, pre-tested questionnaire was used for data collection, the statistical data was recorded and analysed using by the SPSS Software.Results: In present study all the pregnancies had ANC registration and 20.5% of them had ≥4 ANC visits. 91% of the mothers received Iron and Folic Acid supplementation while 95% of mothers immunized with adequate dose of Tetanus Toxoid. With regards to the type of delivery 87.5% were normal vaginal deliveries and 75.5% were occurred at health facility. The length of stay in the hospital was less than 2 days in 55% of deliveries and 52% of the mothers received cash assistance for institutional delivery by the government under Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY) scheme.Conclusions: The present study showed low utilization of full antenatal care services and JSY Scheme among the mothers. There is need to educate and council the mother and their family by health personnel regarding significance of utilization of antenatal services.

This prevalence of prelacteal feeds in the present study is comparable to Ausvi Samina et al [7] (32.9%) and Shreyash J Gandhi et al [8] (32.1%). Higher rates are reported by P. Gupta et al [9] (50.6%) and Devang Raval et al [10] (61.9%).…”

BACKGROUNDCultural practices and beliefs of newborn care are deep rooted in the community. Some of them are harmful and can endanger the life of a newborn. It is important to identify and educate about these harmful practices to reduce neonatal mortality. This study was conducted to assess the knowledge of mothers on current newborn care practices and to evaluate the impact of health education on the knowledge of mothers on newborn care practices in a tertiary hospital. MATERIALS AND METHODSThis study was undertaken on 476 postnatal mothers in Government General Hospital, Kakinada during September 2016 to December 2016. A pre-tested questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge on newborn care and cultural practices of these mothers. This is followed by health education on correct newborn care practices and post-test assessment of improvement in knowledge was done after one month. RESULTSKnowledge of the mothers is improved in each practice like colostrum feeding (87.6% vs. 98.7%), prelacteal feeds (68.4% vs. 92.4%), exclusive breast-feeding (62.4% vs. 87.5%), first bath (63.3% vs. 91%), substance application to cord (67.3% vs. 93.1%), oil massage (86.9% vs. 98%), oil instillation (68.7% vs. 88.8%), breast-feeding in maternal illness (61.2% vs. 89%), breast-feeding in sick baby (81% vs. 96%), kajal to eye (6% vs. 14%), gripe water (37.2% vs. 60%) and pacifier usage (43.5% vs. 79.8%) after health education intervention. Mean knowledge scores are improved from 7.3 (pre-test) to 9.8 (post-test). Paired t test was applied and p value is < 0.001, which is statistically significant. CONCLUSIONHealth education is a cost-effective intervention to bring out behaviour change to curtail harmful practices and to promote healthy newborn care practices in the society.

“…6 Gandhi et al in their study showed that all the mothers under study had adequate ANC check-ups. 9 In the present study more deliveries were caesarean 115 (60.5), normal vaginal delivery were lesser 74 (38.9%) owing to the fact that QMH is a tertiary care facility where many referral cases from secondary and primary care centers are managed. Similar results were seen in the study by Madhu et al in that total of 90% of the deliveries were hospital deliveries and 10% were home deliveries.…”

Background:Care of pregnant lady during antenatal period is the key to reducing maternal mortality and morbidity during pregnancy and child birth and futher improving the growth and development of the newborn. Optimal weight gain in the initial 6 months is very essential. Therefore, study aims to assess antenatal, intranatal and postnatal factors affecting the growth of newborn child. Methods:A Community based cross sectional study was conducted twice – at delivery and second after 6 months. A total of 220 ladies delivered at QMH, King Georges Medical University, Lucknow between August-2016 to September-2017 were included. WHO Standards were used to calculate the deviation from normal growth. Data was entered in SPSS-23 and assessment was made for factors affecting the growth of newborn. Results:At the time of birth the weight, length and head circumference of newborn was measured. Normal weight, length and H.C of ±2 SD was seen in 91%, 88%, 94% males respectively and 87.8%, 97.8 and 73.3% females. Repeat measurements at 6 month age of newborn showed normal weight, length and H.C in 62%, 58% and 87% males respectively and 87.8%, 74.4% and 96.7% females. Multivariate logistic regression analysis of factors revealed that growth of newborn upto 6 months was significantly associated with exclusive breastfeeding (OR 0.161; 95% CI 0.053-0.492; p=0.001), Illness in past 6 months (OR 6.820; 95%CI 2.376-19.579; p<0.001) low birth weight (OR 0.101; 95% CI 0.015-0.665; p=0.017). Conclusions:Although adherence to the proper schedule of antenatal, intranatal and postnatal visits and care varies between individuals and over time, the factors can be addressed with periodic counselling and motivation of pregnant ladies and their families.
