Aim: The purpose of this comparative descriptive study is to determine anxieties related to delivery and postpartum period in primiparous and multiparous pregnant women. Material and Method: The study was conducted on 300 voluntary pregnant women who applied for prenatal control to Erzurum Nenehatun Maternity Hospital of Ministry of Health. The data was collected between May 15, 2011 and December 30, 2011. Personal Information Form and Scale of Fears of Childbirth and Postpartum Period were used to collect data. Percentage distributions, mean, t test, one-way variance analysis, Kruskall Wallis test and Mann-Whitney U test were used to evaluate data. Results: It was determined that total mean score of Scale of Fears of Childbirth and Postpartum Period of primiparous pregnant women was 5.80+1.41 and multiparous was 5.22 +1.29 and there was statistically significant difference (p<0.001). The highest mean score obtained by primiparous and multiparous pregnant women from sub-scales of the related scale was of the sub-scale anxieties towards behaviors of healthcare personnel during delivery; and the lowest mean score was of the sub-scale "anxiety of not receiving any support from her husband during postpartum period".
