Abstract
(Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand. 2019;98:374–381) Fear of childbirth (FOC) affects between 7% and 20% of all pregnant women, and about 8% of pregnant women in Sweden receive counseling for FOC during their pregnancy. FOC is associated with a higher rate of cesarean section on maternal request. Previous data suggest that some FOC treatment methods may be inadequate for eliminating the fear, which may lead women to have negative birth experiences and potentially consider not having additional children. This study aimed to compare the long-term reproductive and obstetric outcomes in women treated for FOC during their first pregnancy with women who did not experience FOC with their first pregnancy.
