Understanding this association is important for improving the provision of antenatal care. This study aimed to determine pregnant women's uptake of antenatal care practices and to examine the relationship between pregnancy\u2010related risk perception and the uptake of care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This cross\u2010sectional study included 270 pregnant women in their third trimester receiving primary health care services in a southeastern region of T\u00fcrkiye. Participants were recruited via cluster sampling. Data were collected through face\u2010to\u2010face interviews using a data collection form and the Pregnancy Risk Perception Scale.

Uptake varied across practices: 49.6% underwent oral glucose tolerance testing, 84.4% used iron supplements, 84.1% used vitamin D supplements, and 82.6% received tetanus vaccination. The mean (SD) total risk perception score was 4.0 (1.66), indicating low to moderate perceived risk. Higher risk perception was significantly associated with greater uptake of all antenatal care practices (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt;\u00a0.05).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Pregnancy\u2010related risk perception is a key determinant of women's engagement with antenatal care.
