TY - JOUR TI - Experience in pregnancy with congenital disorder and maternal-fetal attachment AU - Kucharska, Marta TI - Experience in pregnancy with congenital disorder and maternal-fetal attachment AB - The purpose of this study was to investigate the intensity of Maternal-Fetal Attachment (MFA) and experience of pregnancy with congenital disorder. Additional aim was to examine which of the selected variables predict the development of the emotional attachment between the woman and fetus in high-risk pregnancies. The study involved 65 child-bearing women with congenial disorders. Data was collected by Fetal Attachment Scale, Pregnancy Experiences Scale and inter-wiew. The analysis showed that women in pregnancies with congenital disorder form a strong emotional bond with the unborn child. However, the most experienced difficulty during preg-nancy is fear of motherhood and focus on fetus and state of health. The way of experiencing preg-nancy is significant for the maternal-fetal attachment.
