OBJECTIVE: To determine the difference between levels of pregnancy-specific @entity148 in a group of pregnant @entity1 who previously had a late @entity393 and a group of primiparous @entity1 of similar gestational age. To also determine the relationship, if any, between @entity148 in both groups. DESIGN: A nonrandom, comparative descriptive design. SETTING: @entity1 recruited from medical offices, childbirth classes, and perinatal support groups and newsletters. @entity1 : A convenience sample of 31 expectant mothers (15 primiparae and 16 who previously experienced a late pregnancy @entity2208 , @entity2209 , or @entity204 ). Both groups of @entity1 were in the 2nd or 3rd trimester of their current pregnancy. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: @entity148 was measured using the Pregnancy Outcome Questionnaire; prenatal attachment was measured using the Prenatal Attachment Inventory. RESULTS: The loss group showed significantly greater levels of @entity148 and significantly lower levels of prenatal attachment compared with a group of primiparous @entity1 of a similar gestational age. CONCLUSIONS: @entity1 who experienced a previous late @entity393 had a higher level of @entity148 related to concerns about the pregnancy and decreased prenatal attachment with the @entity1 in the current pregnancy. @entity1 in their first pregnancy had decreased @entity148 compared with the loss group. Higher levels of prenatal attachment also were shown in the primiparous group.
