    Working women attended prenatal care earlier and more frequently than non-working women. However, these differences in prenatal visit frequency narrowed when considering parity and social class.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Occupational Health
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Prenatal care is crucial for maternal and infant health outcomes.
    • Understanding factors influencing prenatal visit attendance is essential for healthcare planning.
    • Occupational activity may impact healthcare-seeking behaviors during pregnancy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between women's occupational activity and their engagement with prenatal care.
    • To compare the gestational age at the first prenatal visit and the number of visits between working and non-working women.
    • To explore the influence of parity and social class on these associations.

    Main Methods:

    • A cross-sectional study involving 1,573 women across 32 maternity units in Belgium's French-speaking region.

  • Data collection focused on occupational activity, gestational age at the first prenatal visit, and the total number of prenatal visits.
  • Statistical analyses were performed to compare working and non-working women, with adjustments for parity and social class.

    • Main Results:

    • Working women initiated prenatal care significantly earlier (p < 0.01) compared to non-working women, irrespective of their specific job, parity, or social class.
    • Working women also attended prenatal visits significantly more frequently (p < 0.05) relative to their gestational age at the first visit.
    • The observed difference in visit frequency between working and non-working women diminished after accounting for parity and social class.

    Conclusions:

    • Occupational activity is associated with earlier and more frequent initiation of prenatal care among women.
    • While employment status influences prenatal care attendance, parity and social class are important confounding factors.
    • Healthcare strategies may need to consider occupational roles and socioeconomic factors to optimize prenatal care access for all pregnant women.
