  1. * Adjusted for all other demographic variables with a relation of p < 0.1 in the bivariate analysis. Variables of husband education, marriage length and income status were removed from the model. P = 0.934 for Hosmer & Lemeshow test of the goodness of fit, Nagelkerkes R2 = 0.052
  2. * Adjusted for all other pregnancy variables with a relation of p < 0.1 in the bivariate analysis. Variables of gravida, planned pregnancy, wanted pregnancy and exercise number class were removed from the model. P = 0.623 for Hosmer & Lemeshow test of the goodness of fit, Nagelkerkes R2 = 0.095
  3. * Adjusted for all other labour and childbirth variables with a relation of p < 0.1 in the bivariate analysis. Variable of midwife’s continuous presence was removed from the model. P = 0.969 for Hosmer & Lemeshow test of the goodness of fit, Nagelkerkes R2 = 0.254
  4. * Adjusted for all other variables with a relation of p < 0.1 in the bivariate analysis. P = 0.490 for Hosmer & Lemeshow test of the goodness of fit, Nagelkerkes R2 = 0.448
