Definition

The number and percentage of births from 2011–2022 that occurred to mothers who reported receiving prenatal care only in the third trimester of their pregnancy, or who reported receiving no prenatal care.

The 2003 U.S. Standard Certificate of Live Birth, which was implemented in North Carolina during 2010, captures prenatal care and education data in a manner that differs from the prior certificate. Due to data compatibility issues that information is not be available for 2010. Therefore, prenatal care for these data from 2011–2022 should not be compared to 1995–2009 data.
