AB  - The main objective of this study, is to examine the differentials in antenatal care coverage. The study uses data collected from some rural and urban areas of Naogaon district, Bangladesh. Information are collected from 800 ever-married women by interview method. Bivariate statistical analysis and logistic regression analysis are used. The ever-married mothers are found medium concerned about their antenatal care coverage. Near one-third mothers had not received antenatal care during their last pregnancy. This situation has prevailed more in urban areas than in rural areas. It has been found that respondent’s education, husband’s education and occupation, place of residence, current use of contraception, frequent visit of health workers to the respondents have been statistically significantly associated with the utilization of antenatal care received during pregnancy.
