Abstract

Aim: To determine the concerns of pregnant women regarding breastfeeding. Methods: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was performed on 207 mothers who had either a vaginal or a caesarian section birth between April and July 2014 at the maternity clinic of the state hospital in Çanakkale, Turkey. An individual identification form consisting of 23 questions was used in collecting the research data. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, chi-square test, and ANOVA test. Results: 34.8% of women in the study were between 24 and 29 years old. It was found that women were concerned about breastfeeding during pregnancy in six areas: pain in the breast, lack of milk, breast deformity, adequate nutrition in pregnancy, frequency and effectiveness of breastfeeding, and anxiety/embarrassment. There were statistically significant differences in terms of age, many pregnancies, and the number of children among the women with and without breastfeeding concerns (p<0.05). Conclusion: pregnant women have a concern related to breastfeeding during the antenatal period.
