Moreover, 69.4% of the women had clinical, 18.6% had severe and 12% had moderate levels of fear of childbirth. During birth, women who had close supporters, who were allowed to move and who did not undergo amniotomy, enema, perineal shaving and electronic foetal monitoring had a low level of fear of childbirth. As the number of pregnant women in the labour room, frequency of vaginal examinations, duration of delivery\/hour, severity of labour pain and negative perception of the approach of health professionals increased, the women's fear of childbirth increased. Fear of childbirth decreased as the frequency of antenatal follow\u2010ups, number of births and satisfaction levels of the women increased (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05).<\/jats:p><jats:p>Low income perception, irregular prenatal follow\u2010up, severe labour pain and a long duration of labour were strong predictors of increased fear of childbirth.
