Antenatal care (ANC) is essential for both mother and child health well-being. The risk of maternal mortality and morbidity as well as neonatal deaths can be reduced substantially through regular and proper antenatal care taken and delivery under safe and hygienic conditions. An attempt has been made to disclose how many times antenatal care (ANC) was taken by the pregnant mother and to find out the contribution of socio-demographic factors on ANC. Moreover, an effort is concentrated to find out a functional relationship between number of visits of ANC and the respondents.Data and methods: Data and necessary information of 4,921 reproductive women were obtained from the Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS) 2007. Multiple classification analysis (MCA) was used to identify the most important determinants of number of antenatal visit. Furthermore, negative exponential model was also employed here.Results: The results reveal that majority (37.83%) women have not taken any ANC during pregnancy and 15.18%, 12.68%, 11.22% and 6.24%, pregnant women have taken 1, 2, 3 and 4 times of ANC respectively. The result also reveal that only 1.67% pregnant women have taken 10 and above times ANC. MCA results showed that living condition, living place during pregnancy and TT injection before birth have been found to be the first, second and third contributing factors on number of ANC of pregnant mother. The grand mean of MCA result is 3.59 which indicate insufficient dose of ANC of pregnant mothers. Moreover, it is found that distribution of the respondents due to number of visits of ANC follows modified negative exponential model.Conclusions: This study demonstrates the low ANC service utilization. The utilization of the ANC service was influenced by various socio-demographic and health related factors. Hence there is a need to increase the availability and accessibility of health services to all women. Women’s overall status (education, living condition, living place during pregnancy and preceding birth interval) need to be considered.
