Continuous care before pregnancy in control group was 95.8 times more than case group (OR=95.8, CI=18.5-496, p<0.001). Considering family relation there was not significant relationship between two groups. The trained couples in control group were 33 times more than case group (OR= 33, CI= 7-153, p<0.001).
