Abstract (English) : | Fear of childbirth (FOC) is a common phenomenon in pregnant women. From a psychometrical point-of-view FOC can be seen as a continuum, from almost no fear to extreme fear to give birth. In the latter case, FOC can be so intense that it qualifies for diagnostic terms like ‘clinical FOC’, i.e. a disabling fear that interferes with occupational or academic functioning, with domestic and social activities or with relationships. The fear may even meet the criteria for a specific phobia according to DSM IV. In some women the fear is specific, and only concerns the event of childbirth. In others, FOC exists in parallel with other types of anxiety problems. |
