In group I a positive correlations between the indicators of HVS and indicators of state and trait anxiety were found. <strong>Conclusions. </strong>Antenatal study of levels of anxiety, manifestations of HVS in pregnant women - IDPs with threatened miscarriage will allow to individualize the approach to the management of pregnancy and if needed to timely develop rehabilitating measures, that will contribute to a successful outcome of the pregnancy and affect the health of the mother and her offspring. </p>
