ORs adjusted only for two dummy-categories SES due to the smaller N and the rule of thumb of a minimum of ten events in the outcome variable per covariate
aExcluded: n = 94 clients undecided regarding planned place of birth at 20 wks
bIncluded: n = 5 clients who changed from home to undecided
cIncluded: n = 5 clients who changed from hospital to undecided
