To the question of the mental state features of pregnant women in the third trimester

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the characteristics of the mental state of pregnant women in the third trimester. Pregnancy in all women increases the level of personal anxiety, which is especially often recorded in the third trimester. Sociological and psychometric methods examined 52 pregnant women in the third trimester on the basis of the perinatal center. In all women who participated in the study, pregnancy proceeded without complications. Depression was detected in 20% of cases, anxiety in 23%, and depression and anxiety in 15%. An alarming type of the psychological component of the gestational dominant was revealed in 27% of women, euphoric in 15%, and depressive in 8%. The results indicate a high proportion of pregnant women with anxiety and depression, with a predominantly anxious type of psychological component of the gestational dominant, which can contribute to the formation of mental disorders with a high risk of social maladaptation.
