AB  - The study based on primary data collected from Rajshahi District. The aim of this study is to identify the factors related with the utilization of mother’s health seeking behavior in Rajshahi. ANC, delivery care, taking Iron tablet, TT injection and Vitamin-A were considered here as utilization of services. This study revealed that fifty percent women were working and more than 50% (61.1%) gave birth in their middle aged (20-34 years). ANC services were very poor during pregnancy time. Logistic regression technique was employed to detect the significant factors for utilization of services. The important significant factors are: Mother’s age, residence, education, economic standard of family, contraceptive use, mass media exposure and visits of health worker. The interesting findings showed that access to delivery in hospital/clinic are very poor. Urban and high economic standard mothers were more likely to utilize services than their rural and low economic standard. This study will help policy makers to take initiative for rural vulnerable mothers.
