Group ANC/PNC
The primary intervention is group antenatal and postnatal care wherein women receive their care in a group with other women with similar due dates. After an initial individual visit all care is given in groups although the majority of the time is dedicated to facilitated discussion and women can come for additional acute care if needed. Group antenatal care will be three group visits between 20 and 40 weeks gestation and group postnatal care will be one group visit and approximately 6 weeks post delivery.
Ultrasound+Pregnancy Testing
"Half of all study sites will receive early pregnancy testing, conducted by community health workers at community level and ultrasound for gestational age dating and early screening at the health center.~The primary analysis will not assess the effectiveness of this intervention."
