In order to assess characteristics of women with denial or concealment of pregnancy until delivery, the authors conducted a retrospective study of women with no history of prenatal care who presented to their institution for delivery or immediately postpartum. Among these women, 29% had denied pregnancy, and 9% had concealed pregnancy. Authors constructed models predicting denial or concealment of pregnancy and further elucidated subtypes of denial and concealment of pregnancy. Strikingly, psychiatric consultation was rare for women who had denied or concealed their pregnancies, and yet they would often subsequently take responsibility for their infants.
为了评估那些直到分娩才否认或隐瞒怀孕情况的女性的特征，作者对那些没有产前护理史、前来他们机构分娩或产后即刻就诊的女性进行了一项回顾性研究。在这些女性中，29%否认怀孕，9%隐瞒怀孕。作者构建了预测怀孕否认或隐瞒情况的模型，并进一步阐明了怀孕否认和隐瞒的亚型。令人惊讶的是，那些否认或隐瞒怀孕情况的女性很少接受精神科会诊，但她们随后往往会对自己的婴儿负责。
