Prenatal care means checking the health of the mother and baby during pregnancy to ensure the best possible outcome for both. Regular and early checkups during pregnancy help in having safer and healthier deliveries compared to those who do not receive such care. Many factors affect a woman’s ability to stay healthy and recover from problems during pregnancy and childbirth. These include her general health, nutrition from childhood to pregnancy, and how easily she can reach and use health services. Her knowledge, attitude, and habits during pregnancy also play an important role. This study aims to find out how much pregnant women know about antenatal care, what their attitudes are, and what practices they follow in primary health centers in rural areas of Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India.
