In order to achieve the aim of improved outcome of pregnancy for mother and fetus, early booking (first antenatal visit), prior to 14 weeks' gestation is usually recommended. A survey of information on personal data, index pregnancy, reasons for booking at a particular gestational age, past obstetric history and medical history of 205 pregnant women attending the antenatal booking clinic at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria was carried out using a structured questionnaire. The mean gestational age at booking was 21.82 (+/-7.0) weeks. Only 29 patients (14.1%) booked before 14 weeks. The reasons given for early booking among them were the perceived benefits of such practice (41.4%), physician's recommendation (34.5%) and occurrence of complication(s) in previous pregnancy (24.1%). Illness in the index pregnancy and nulliparity were the only factors found to significantly favour early booking. The need to educate women of the reproductive age group, who are potential mothers, on the benefits of early booking was recommended.
为实现改善母婴妊娠结局的目标，通常建议在妊娠14周前进行早期预约（首次产前检查）。采用结构化问卷对尼日利亚伊巴丹大学学院医院产前预约诊所的205名孕妇的个人资料、本次妊娠情况、在特定孕周预约的原因、既往产科病史和病史进行了调查。预约时的平均孕周为21.82（±7.0）周。只有29名患者（14.1%）在14周前预约。她们中提前预约的原因是认为这种做法有好处（41.4%）、医生建议（34.5%）以及既往妊娠出现并发症（24.1%）。本次妊娠患病和初产是仅有的被发现显著有利于早期预约的因素。建议对育龄期潜在母亲群体开展关于早期预约益处的教育。
