One goal of pregnancy is the development of maternal emotional attachment to the unborn baby, and this attachment has been shown to be related to later relationships and development. There are many factors which may hinder the development of prenatal attachment, including the presence of complications, hospitalisation, and anxiety. However, women's appraisals of risk may not be congruent with medical assessments of risk. The current study sought to model the relationships between risk (maternal perceptions and medical ratings), coping, psychological well-being, and maternal-foetal attachment among 87 women hospitalised for pregnancy-related complications. Analysis indicated that positive appraisal as a coping strategy mediates the relationship between maternal appraisals of risk and maternal-foetal attachment, and that medical ratings of risk were not predictive of maternal-foetal attachment. Awareness of the potential incongruence between patients' and health professionals' perceptions of risk is important within the clinical environment. The potential benefits of promoting positive appraisal in high-risk pregnancy merit further research.
