In the Royal New Zealand Plunket Society's 1990-91 Cohort study, 581 of 4,286 women questioned (13.7%) had not initiated antenatal care until after the first trimester. These late attenders were more likely to be non-European or of high parity; 42.9% of Pacific Islander mothers and 28.9% of Maori mothers did not initiate antenatal care until after the first trimester. Late attenders were also more likely to be unmarried, of lower socioeconomic status, young or with lower educational attainment. The reason for delayed antenatal care needs to be investigated and mothers who are high parity and non-European need to be particularly targeted to encourage them to attend for antenatal care early.
在新西兰皇家普伦基特协会1990 - 1991年队列研究中，4286名接受询问的女性中有581名（13.7%）直到孕早期之后才开始产前护理。这些延迟就诊者更有可能是非欧洲裔或多产次；42.9%的太平洋岛民母亲和28.9%的毛利母亲直到孕早期之后才开始产前护理。延迟就诊者也更有可能未婚、社会经济地位较低、年轻或教育程度较低。需要调查延迟产前护理的原因，并且需要特别针对多产次和非欧洲裔母亲，鼓励她们尽早进行产前护理。
