Summary
The anxiety felt by the pregnant woman is serious problem, although in compared to depression, it is a less analyzed problem. It is an unpleasant emotional phenomenon that is accompanied by a sense of danger, the inability of a person to predict and control the situation, or to achieve the desired results. A specific type of anxiety is the prenatal anxiety that is closely related to pregnancy, development of the fetus, birth or acceptance of the mother’s role. The paper summarizes the risk factors of anxiety during pregnancy, highlighting possible negative consequences especially on the development of the fetus, and analyzes mechanisms explaining the link between anxiety and postnatal health of the child. It is advisable to deal with this issue with regard to the prevalence of anxiety states in pregnancy and its possible consequences.
