Table 2 represents the frequency of each option. All women (n=553) were asked to respond to the preconception questions regardless of pregnancy status. Pregnancy questions were only answered by those currently pregnant (n=110). The percentage (%) is based on the number of total selections made, women were asked to select nil or any/all that applied, therefore the percentages add to over 100%.
