India is a developing nation and has achieved a significant reduction in fertility. This study attempted to identify the trend of change in children ever born (CEB) against proximate and non-proximate factors over the 2005–2019 period. This study used secondary data from the National Family Health Survey. The count outcome “children ever born” was separately analyzed against several factors for two periods to mark the changes through a Poisson regression model. The results revealed that the mean number of CEB had declined irrespective of the factors. However, the incidence rate ratio (IRR) of CEB increased particularly against certain factors. In the subsequent period, the IRR of CEB increased among women who had more than three daughters at home and were engaged in early sexual intercourse. More aggressive policies should be adopted to delay the early debut of sexual intercourse and disseminate awareness among couples that the sex of the children does not matter.

Objective
At present, a large number of research results showed that social support is highly correlated with mental health problems such as anxiety, depression, and self-harm during pregnancy and some adverse pregnancy outcomes. However, most studies have been cross-sectional studies on maternal social support. This longitudinal study investigated the developmental trajectory of perinatal social support and associated factors.
Methods
A total of 1485 pregnant women were investigated using the Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS) during the first trimester of pregnancy and followed up during the third trimester and postpartum period. Informed consent was obtained before the research began.
Results
PSSS scores in the first, third and postpartum periods were 68.72, 67.21, and 66.93, respectively, which exhibited a gradual downward trend with the progression of pregnancy and were related to factors such as occupation, per capita monthly income, professional postpartum care, and expectation of newborn sex (P < 0.05).
Conclusion
Social support from policymakers and maternal care workers as well as adequate life and psychological support from family members should be provided to avoid adverse outcomes and emotions, such as anxiety and depression, during pregnancy.
