It depends on your research question. If you are interested in # ANC visits per pregnancy for all pregnancies, then you would use all of the data from each woman. If you are interested in the most recent pregnancy, then you would use just the variables with subscript _1 in the name. Note that if you use all of a woman's pregnancies, then you would have to account for "nesting" within the individual woman (as her care-seeking behaviour during pregnancy may be the same for all pregnancies).
