Includes bibliographical references (leaves 52-58). The aim of this study was to explore the nature of fear experienced by a group of pregnant women utilizing the Cape Town public obstetric service who reported having severe fear of childbirth. The study was undertaken at antenatal clinics within the Peninsula Maternal and Neonatal Service in Cape Town. The subjects included fifteen pregnant women, 21 years and older, irrespective of gestation, who previously carried one pregnancy to at least 28 weeks gestation regardless of pregnancy outcome and who reported severe fear of childbirth in their current pregnancy (defined for the purpose of this study as a score of 7 or more on a visual analogue scale for fear). 2014-07-28T14:48:43Z 2014-07-28T14:48:43Z 2008 Master Thesis Masters MMed http://hdl.handle.net/11427/3052 eng application/pdf Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town |
