The majority being thyroid problem and least being Rh-ve mothers. 17.40% of the study population had more than one complication along with present pregnancy. · Age and parity of pregnancy had significant effect on anxiety which was also proved statistically. Pregnant women of younger age were more anxious about pregnancy than those who got pregnant at an older age. Likewise women who were conceiving for the first time were more anxious about pregnancy than those who already had conceived earlier. · Pregnant women in the second and third trimester showed slightly higher levels of anxiety when compared to pregnant women in the first trimester. · The incidence of various complications in pregnancy does have significant effect on the anxiety of the pregnant women. Pregnant women having some kind of complication have slightly more level of anxiety when compared to pregnant women who didn't have any complication along with present pregnancy. Patients with wheezing problem, thyroid problem and pregnancy induced hypertension showed the moderate level of anxiety whereas patients with other complication showed mild level of anxiety · Pregnant women having twins showed moderate level of anxiety · The outcomes of delivery of the study population were almost same with about 48.5% of patients went through a normal vaginal delivery whereas 51.5% underwent a LSCS. · The major reason for a LSCS was CPD and previous LSCS and had not much significance on the condition of present pregnancy and their anxiety.
