The risk of pregnancy distress (28 points and above) in women with a
change in the mode of birth during the pandemic was 5.4 times higher
than those who preferred vaginal birth before and during the pandemic
(p<0.001, OR: 5.4 CI: 2.112 - 13.809).
The risk of distress was lower (28 points and above) in pregnant women
who did not have a change in their mode of birth preference and in those
who did not decide on their mode of birth yet before and during the
COVID-19 pandemic (p=0.001, OR: 0.241 CI: 0.104-0.558; p=0.027, OR: 2.83
CI: 0.093-0.863 respectively). Additionally, in the COVID-19 pandemic,
pregnant women who do not need professional support, and those who find
information sources sufficient have a lower risk of pregnancy distress
(28 points and above) compared to those who do not (p=0.004 OR: 0.429
CI: 0.242 - 0.761; p=0.02 OR: 0.355, CI: 0.147-0.857, respectively).
