The study aimed to evaluate anxiety related to pregnancy among primigravida mothers attending a maternity clinic in the Trivandrum district. Objectives included assessing anxiety levels and examining associations between anxiety and socio-demographic variables. A quantitative, crosssectional research design was employed with 100 participants selected through consecutive sampling. Data analysis included descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation) and inferential statistics (Chi-square test). Results revealed that 46% of participants experienced moderate anxiety, while 54% reported severe anxiety. The highest mean subscale score was for excessive worry and specific fears (8.2 ± 4.8), followed by acute anxiety and adjustment (7.5 ± 3.9). A significant association was found between anxiety levels and the type of pregnancy, gestational age, and history of unplanned pregnancy. These findings highlight the need for early interventions to address anxiety and enhance maternal and neonatal outcomes.
