Psychological aspects of second pregnancy.

Major psychological characteristics of the second pregnancy experience are described, including maternal tasks and sources of anxiety for secundigravidas, as a basis for improving care to expanding families. Clinical implications are suggested that meet the special needs of second-time mothers regarding time limitations to meet multiple demands, family relationship changes, and concerns about maternal health and fatigue. Strategies for enhancing care involve using childbirth and sibling classes, modifying health care and information from primary care providers, mobilizing supportive services and resources, and influencing policies to meet maternal and family needs.

Korean women's attitudes toward pregnancy and prenatal care.

A convenience sample of 40 native-born pregnant Korean women receiving prenatal care at a U.S. military facility in a major metropolitan area in Korea completed a questionnaire about attitudes toward pregnancy and prenatal care. Responses revealed a family life characterized by positive maternal and paternal perceptions of the pregnancy and less preference for a male child than we had anticipated. Traditional beliefs in Tae Mong, a conception dream, and Tae Kyo, rituals for safe childbirth, were followed. Food taboos, including protein sources, were reported. Attitudes toward prenatal care services, care providers, and maternal health habits are described.
