Abstract
The All Our Babies (AOB) study is a prospective community-based pregnancy cohort that intends to describe the mental health and psychosocial characteristics of mothers living in Calgary and area, as well as estimating rates of low birth weight, small for gestational age and preterm births. This study will help to understand women's prenatal care experiences in Calgary and identify barriers and facilitators to accessing this care. The AOB study is following maternal-infant pairs across the early life course to further examine risk and protective factors important for child developmental outcomes and maternal well-being.
The inclusion criteria for this study are women able to communicate in written and spoken English, less than 24 weeks pregnant at enrollment, and accessing prenatal care in Calgary between May 2008 and December 2010.
Subject areas covered include:
a) Maternal Prenatal Health (e.g., prenatal care, maternal gestation);
b) Pregnancy History (e.g., previous pregnancies, previous preterm birth);
c) Pre-pregnancy (e.g., pregnancy planning advice received, contraception use, pregnancy intention);
d) Health Care Services (e.g., utilization of services for mother and baby);
e) Food, Exercise and Housing (e.g., nutrition, housing, neighbourhood safety and cohesion);
f) Lifestyle (e.g., T-ACE Screen for alcohol consumption risk, smoking, drugs);
g) Social Support (Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Scale, partner/relationship satisfaction);
h) Mental Health (e.g., Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, Spielberger State Anxiety Scale, Perceived Stress Scale, optimism [Life Orientation Test-Revised]);
i) Life Events (e.g., previous mental health, abuse);
j) Sociodemographic Outcomes (e.g., age, marital status, education, ethnicity, work status);
k) Birth Outcomes - maternal and delivery (e.g. site of birth, delivery type, medication, delivery support);
l) Birth Outcomes -infant (e.g., sex, birth weight, gestational age);
m) Baby Health/Development (e.g., doctor, check-up, vaccinations);
n) Parenting/ Postpartum Experiences (e.g. Parenting Morale Index, breastfeeding [Montreal Children's Hospital Feeding Scale], community service utilization)

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
Sample acquired in 2008 - 2010 through:
a) recruitment from health care offices (posters, word-of-mouth) and the regional health services website, and
b) recruitment over the phone (Women receiving prenatal viral serology tests were contacted by Calgary Laboratory Services to request permission to release patient contact information to the AOB research staff, who if consenting were contacted to determine eligibility).

b) recruitment over the phone (Women receiving prenatal viral serology tests were contacted by Calgary Laboratory Services to request permission to release patient contact information to the AOB research staff, who if consenting were contacted to determine eligibility).
Deviations from the Sample Design
Compared to Maternity Experiences Survey (Canadian cross-sectional survey), AOB mothers were older (>35 years), reported a higher household income, were more likely to have received a first ultrasound before 18 weeks gestational age and to attend prenatal or childbirth education classes. Otherwise, AOB and MES participant demographic and pregnancy characteristics were similar.
