The fetal blood flow state studies of pregnant women undergoing psycho-emotional stress, with the help of self-report scale of Spielberger and Doppler examination found an increase in state and trait anxiety, increase in resistance of the umbilical artery and descending aorta, as well as raised heart rate and blood pressure values. At the same time there is a decrease in the pulsatility index of the middle cerebral artery and increase in umbilical-cerebral ratios, indicating the compensatory centralization of fetal blood flow and improving blood supply to the brain. Possible mechanisms of the detected changes have been discussed.
