  1. In table 3 we have used row percentages that’s why the column percentages do not add up to one hundred. Unmarried †† includes, single, divorced, widowed and separated. Married® encompasses cohabiting and married in church. Prime gravid♦ means this is the first pregnancy she has never had any other before this. *Statistically significant
