The important role of pregnancy period in the functioning of consciousness, self-consciousness and self-acceptance of a fertile age woman, who aim to acquire experience of conscious maternity, has been brought to light. It has been emphasized, that readiness as positive attitude to pregnancy is accompanied by numerous affective experiences, but the most important factor is determined by the extent how much the child is desirable and stands as a self-sufficient personality for a mother, and how much only as means to meet some other intentions and needs. The results of the empirical research gave grounds to assert the important role of social determinants in pregnant women’s attitude to the pregnancy situation and to the new status and role preferences and identities, acquired during this period. No less important factor is natality experience, whereas all understudied had their first pregnancy, therefore mainly demonstrated the optimal type of gestational dominant, anxiety within the conditional age norm, at the same time uncertainty was stated almost in the half of understudied. It has been determined that more than every tenth of the understudied has the denoted conflict with pregnancy and the future situation of maternity.
