Abstract
The aim of our study is to evaluate the influence of several factors such as age, wanted pregnancy, education level, etc, on final stages pregnant women's attitude and perception of pregnancy. A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out with over 36 weeks pregnant women undergoing routine cardiotocographic check-ups in the Foetal Welfare outpatients unit at the Maternity-Children's hospital (Ciudad de Jaén Hospital). Kumar et al's attitude and maternal adaptation questionnaire (1984) was used. The results obtained suggest that a wanted pregnancy is closely linked to a high degree of satisfaction throughout pregnancy, that marital status has a determinant influence on wanted pregnancies, and that affection showed by pregnant women's partners increases proportionally to the number of pregnancies.
