This study aims to asses the psychological condition during pregnancy and some factors that may be related to it and whether or not it will affect the outcome of pregnancy and postpartum period. A sample of pregnant women were assessed twice, first, during the last trimester and second, within 4-6 weeks after delivery. Assessment was done clinically and psychometrically using MMPI and BDI. The results showed that pregnant women got higher scores on psychathenia, hypochondriasis and depression. It was found that some factors like age were related to psychological state during pregnancy where younger women got higher scores on hysteria, hypomania and depression. Also low social class was associated with higher scores on depression, hysteria and psychopathic deviation, whereas no relation was found between psychological state during pregnancy and social class or lever of education. Regarding the effect of psychological status on the outcome of pregnancy, it was found that C.S. and fetal asphyxia were correlated with high scores on depression, hypochondriasis and psychopathic deviation subclass of MMPI and BDI. AISO, prematurity showed significant correlation with high scores on depression, social introversion and masculinity femininity subclass, whereas low birth weight was correlated with high scores on depression, schizophrenia and masculinity femi- ninity subclass. Finally, no relation was found between psychological changes during pregnancy and postpartum depression.
