Preparation for delivery lies in the mother's psychological comfort in the birth process. The mother's mood during pregnancy can impact on the development of the baby both during pregnancy and after birth. Assessing women for psychosocial risk factors and symptoms of distress gives the opportunity to provide appropriate services during regular pregnancy checks. To investigate the effect of psychological suggestion therapy on the birth process, a specially designed, prospective study of psychological suggestion ("insubstantial comfort") was undertaken in 208 pregnant women. In this paper a model of psychological preparation of pregnant women is analyzed. Antenatal psychosocial assessment may increase the clinician's awareness of psychosocial risk. The antenatal care training was very effective in reducing the impact of stress on pregnant women.
