Information obtained on prenatal care received in countries other than the United States and in languages other than English is permitted and should be used.

If date information is incomplete, enter all parts of the date that are known. Report “unknown” for any parts of the date that are missing.

If mother’s earliest prenatal care records are not available (e.g., the date of the first prenatal care visit is unavailable because the mother transferred her prenatal care and the first records are unavailable), report “unknown.”
