Abstract

The purpose of this study is to compare life stress between primigravida and multigravida in advanced maternal age. A cross-sectional study was performed for 133 pregnancy women (primigravida group 53, multigravida group 80). The all women were old age (${\geq}35years$) and pregnant. We used the questionnaire to self-report general characteristics, obstetric characteristics and life stress. The average of participants age was 36.15 years old, primigravida was 36.08 and multigravida was 36.19. The mean of total life stress score was 2.68 and the total life score for pregnant women of lower education level was higher. The marital relationship of primigravida was lower than multigravida(mean, .06 vs. .26; p=.021). As our study shows that stress of marital relationship is higher in the multigravida than primigravida, the life stress care for advanced maternal age is important.
