Definition

Births that occurred to mothers who reported receiving prenatal care only in the third trimester of their pregnancy, or reported receiving no prenatal care.

Data Source

2007-2015 Population Reference Bureau analysis of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS).

1) United States' total reflects the total from states using the 2003 revised birth certificate only.
2) Results are only reported on the KIDS COUNT Data Center when states have an entire calendar year of the 2003 Revised Birth Certificate or an entire calendar year of the 1989 Unrevised Birth Certificate. States that implement after January 1st are noted as N.A. (not available) for that year in both the revised and unrevised tables. This occurs in the following instances: 2007 Georgia and Michigan, 2009 District of Columbia, Nevada, and Oklahoma, 2010 Louisiana and North Carolina, 2011 Massachusetts and Minnesota.
3) While New York State implemented the revised birth certificate in 2004, New York City did not do so until 2008. Therefore, U.S. totals for 2007 exclude New York City and include the remainder of New York State.

Notes

Updated July 2018.
N.A. - Not available.
N.C. - Not comparable with data for states or cities using the 2003 revised birth certificate or for their own state for previous years but comparable with those using the 1989 standard birth certificate.
