-Summary

To determine whether 3D models of fetus' face created from 3D ultrasound will increase maternal and paternal attachment, lower stress, anxiety and depression and have improved life-style choices during pregnancy. Half of participants will receive 3D model and half will receive a picture of 3D ultrasound of their baby.

+Outcome measures

Primary outcomes

  • Maternal Antenatal Attachment Scale (MAAS) [5 minutes]: The MAAS is a 19 item questionnaire measuring maternal-fetal attachment. Each item has five answer choices scored from 1 low attachment to 5 high attachment such that the total score ranges from 19 to 95. The measure also includes two subscales: (1) Quality of Attachment has 10 items with a range of 10-50 and measures the quality of the mother's attachment to her fetus. (2) Time measures the time spent in attachment mode (or intensity of preoccupation) and consists of 8 items for a range of 8 to 40. (for clarity one item included in the total score is not included in either subscale.)
  • Paternal Antenatal Attachment Scale (PAAS) [5 minutes]: The PAAS is a 16 item questionnaire measuring paternal-fetal attachment. Each item has five answer choices scored from 1 low attachment to 5 high attachment such that the total score ranges from 19 to 95. The measure also includes two subscales: (1) Quality of Attachment has 10 items with a range of 10-50 and measures the quality of the mother's attachment to her fetus. (2) Time measures the time spent in attachment mode (or intensity of preoccupation) and consists of 8 items for a range of 8 to 40. (for clarity one item included in the total score is not included in either subscale.)
  • Maternal anxiety [3 minutes]: 7-question Generalized Anxiety Disorder questionnaire (GAD-7) will be administered
  • Paternal depression [3 minutes]: 9-question Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) will be administered
  • Maternal depression [3 minutes]: 9-question Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) will be administered
  • Paternal anxiety [3 minutes]: 7-question Generalized Anxiety Disorder questionnaire (GAD-7) will be administered
  • Maternal stress [3 minutes]: 11-question Pregnancy-Related Anxiety Questionnaire-Revised (PRAQ-R2) will be administered.
