ABSTRACT:
Maternal fetal attachment commences early in pregnancy, which is an emotional affectionate, warm between pregnant women and her fetus. Increasing maternal fetal attachment leads to healthy eating, healthy life style and positive attitude towards fetus. All these behaviour could lead to the acceptance of maternal role and promotion of maternal health and neonatal outcome. A diverse range of factors have positive and negative impact on maternal fetal attachment.
