Abstract
Anxiety was assessed in prospective mothers undergoing screening for foetal neural tube defects. Anxiety was found to be extreme and only returned to normal levels when a definitely negative amniocentesis result was communicated to the woman. Anxiety was mitigated by social and family support but other life events had little effect on it.Entities:
