Highlights: • Urinary phthalate metabolites, phenols and parabens were detected during pregnancy. • Concentrations differed by maternal sociodemographic characteristics. • Results did not provide strong evidence for specific dietary sources of exposure. Phthalates and phenols are suspected endocrine disrupting chemicals that may adversely impact fetal outcomes following in utero exposure. Understanding predictors of exposure to phthalates and phenols during the prenatal period is important.
