Misbirth risk factors analysis in psychology

In the article a short analysis of the data of medical-psychological researches on misbirth threat factors is given. Medical literature on the topic actively finds and studies symptoms that testify to the disorder of the physiological process of pregnancy.Research literature on revealing and describing psychological factors that accompany women in the course of pregnancy specifies two approaches. Within the first approach psychologists describe individually psychological, psycho-emotional and personal features of pregnant women with disorders of physiological processes of pregnancy. In this case, psychological support will aim at individually psychological and personal qualities, helping to adapt to the new psycho-physiological condition, providing women with quiet internal sensations of psychological and physiological comfort. Within the other approach in studying psychological risk factors, the attention of researchers is focused on the remedially dynamic aspects and on psychological content of the process of pregnancy. Psychologists are not so much interested in the problem of "condition", but in pregnancy as an important, crisis period of life. During this period a woman's vital world is reorganized. This transformation is closely connected with introduction of an independent value of the child in the hierarchy of a woman's values. It is also connected with women's readiness to accept the child in the new parent identity. It guarantees women's readiness for effective interaction with the child already at the stage of its prenatal life. According to these facts there is an expansion of strategy of psychological support. The purpose of the support is formation of psychological readiness for transformation and acceptance of a woman's new identity of the future mother, providing her and the child with an access to new conditions of living in pregnancy. At the given stage we tell about a necessity of formation of the system "mother - child" in pregnant women's consciousness and behaviour. It is a condition providing natural psychological and physiological course of pregnancy. Such unity in the pregnancy period is characterised by a specific psychological content, which is developed as the formation process of "prenatal psychological unity". Studying these aspects, in our opinion, allows coming to a new level of understanding of psychological conditions of healthy pregnancy.
