Özet:

 Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between physical activity level and tokophobia in pregnant women. Materials and Methods: 81 healthy pregnant women on 14-40 weeks of gestation were included in the study. The participants physical activity levels were measured using the Pregnancy Physical Activity Questionnaire PPAQ, and their tokophobia was evaluated using the WIJMA Delivery ExpectationExperience Scale W-DEQ. The W-DEQ results are divided into four subgroups: low fear of childbirth W-DEQ score  37 moderate fear of childbirth W-DEQ score between 38 and 65 severe fear of childbirth W-DEQ score 66 -84 and clinical fear of childbirth W-DEQ score  85. Results: We found a low level of tokophobia in participants W-DEQ 3.5736.19. Low-intensity physical activity decreased in the third trimester 78.8240.88 MET-minweek compared to the second trimester 120.1054.80 MET-minweek p0.001. Houseworkcare activities decreased in the third trimester 105.8156.09 MET-minweek compared to the second trimester 162.0898.08 MET-minweek p0.023. Low-tokophobia pregnant women 141.54 MET-minweek were more active than moderate-tokophobia pregnant women 73.01MET-minweek p0.026. There was a moderately strong negative correlation between the total W-DEQ score and the total PPAQ score r-0.431; p0.001. Conclusion: It was determined that the physical activity levels of the pregnant women decrease as the trimester of pregnancy progress, and the level of physical activity decreased as tokophobia increased.
