To determine the agreement between interview-based and medical records data concerning illnesses and medications early in pregnancy, we compared the interviews of 202 women with the ongoing records collected during their pregnancies.

Fewer short-term illnesses were reported by postpartum women than sill-pregnant women, suggesting the potential for recall bias or loss.
