| Pregnancy-specific distressb | First | 79 (24) | .74 (0.34) | .66 (.38) | .77 (.32) |
| Second | 559 (177) | .68 (0.35) | .69 (.36) | .67 (.35) | |
| Third | 449 (138) | .53 (0.33) | .55 (.34) | .52 (.32) | |
Notes: Means and standard deviations for second and third trimesters include multiple observations from many subjects. They are presented in order to describe the pattern of anxiety and distress across pregnancy, but should not be used as direct tests of mean difference or in meta-analyses due to the nonindependence of subjects.
a
Possible range of scores for anxiety was 0–30.
b
Possible range of scores for pregnancy-specific distress was 0–2.
