Interviewed Black‐American, White‐Anglo, and Cuban‐Hispanic women ( N = 126) during pregnancy and the puerperium in a longitudinal study of perinatal attitudes. Cultural differences emerged for the attitude toward Pregnancy, and differences across time emerged for the perception of activity of Unborn (Newborn) Baby. Such cultural and psychological factors need to be considered in the development of comprehensive prenatal care programs.
