Abstract:
Objective To understand the association between pregnancy intention and pregnancy-related anxiety in the second and third trimester and its strength.Methods A prospective cohort study was conducted in Ma' anshan,Anhui province.A total of 3 474 eligible pregnant women within 14 weeks of gestation were recruited.The information about their demographic characteristics were collected in early pregnancy.The completed questionnaire of pregnancy-related anxiety were asked to return in the second and third trimester.Logistic regression analysis was conducted to evaluate the association between pregnancy intention and pregnancy-related anxiety in the second and third trimester.Results A total of 3 083 pregnant women were included in final analysis,The rate of unintentional pregnancy was 15.00％ (n=461).The detection rates of pregnancy-related anxiety in the second and third trimester were 29.13％ (n=898) and 30.36％ (n=936).After controlling potential confounding factors,unintentional pregnancy increased the risk of pregnancy-related anxiety in the second trimester compared with intentional pregnancy (OR=1.85,95％ CI:1.44-2.38);The risk of pregnancy-related anxiety also increased in the third trimester (OR=1.84,95％ CI:1.44-2.35).Intentional pregnancy did not increase the risk of pregnancy-related anxiety in the second and third trimester.Conclusion The study results suggests that unintentional pregnancy could increase the risk of pregnancy-related anxiety in the second and third trimester.
