Ultrasound scanning in women with raised serum alpha fetoprotein: short term psychological effect.

Abstract:

:Thirty pregnant women with raised serum alpha fetoprotein (AFP) were interviewed before and after they received real-time ultrasound scanning to further diagnose fetal abnormalities. Thirty pregnant mothers receiving routine ultrasound scanning for dates served as the controls. The 'at risk' group were more anxious and concerned about the fetus before the scan. There was a greater reduction of state-anxiety following scanning in the raised AFP group than for the controls. Similar changes were found in the attitude towards the fetus, pregnancy and fetus' health between the risk and control subjects.
