Data were analyzed using statistics of frequency distribution, percentage, mean, standard deviation. Independent statistical research hypothesis test. The results showed that both groups had fear scores. There was no difference in prenatal birth (M = 83.97, SD = 5.80, M = 83.07, SD = 4.99 and t = 0.64). In the postpartum period, the experimental group had fear of giving birth (M = 43.30, SD = 8.89)was significantly less than the control group (M = 82.20, SD = 7.09) at the p < .001 level., SD = 9.29) was significantly higher than the control group (M =62.67, SD =7.57) at p < .001 level.
