description INTRODUCTION: Pregnancy is a period with physical, emotional and social consequences. These results can be positive, such as joy and happiness, or negative, such as stress and anxiety. Negative consequences can cause fear of childbirth. METHODS: The study was carried out in Samsun Education and Research Hospital, Gynecology and Pediatrics service building.

The study was conducted from April 1 to June 15, 2021. RESULTS: The study was conducted with 1116 pregnant women. The mean age of the pregnant women participating in the study was found to be 27,86+-5,44. The mean number of pregnant follow-ups in family medicine during pregnancy was 4,47+-2,72. The mean W-DEQ score of the pregnant women participating in the study was found to be 75.89+-24,67.
