• Description:
  Early prenatal care initiation can improve the likelihood of a healthy pregnancy and baby. A recent report shows shifts in the timing of prenatal care initiation, with a decrease in care beginning in the first trimester and increases in care beginning in the second and third trimesters and for mothers who had received no care. This report describes trends in the timing of prenatal care initiation from 2016 (the first year for which national data are available based on the 2003 birth certificate revision) to 2024. Changes by maternal age, race and Hispanic origin, and late (beginning in the third trimester) or no care by state of residence also are shown from 2021 to 2024.
