TL;DR: A new taxonomy of more complex reasons for late antenatal booking than the prevalent concepts of denial, concealment and disadvantage is reported, which include poor reproductive health knowledge and delayed recognition of pregnancy, the influence of a pregnancy 'mindset’ and previous pregnancy experience, and the perceived value of antenatal care.

TL;DR: In a recent UK online survey of young adults, 35% of participants experiencing current emotional or mental health difficulties did not seek any formal or informal help and that perceived stigma, difficulty expressing concerns and accessing help, alongside a preference for self-reliance, were barriers to access to care and support.
