140 healthy pregnant women were investigated with The Accentuation Temperament Traits Test and 66 women were chosen with the characteristics of the accentuated bipolar factor "emotional stability – emotional instability" or with the absence of accentuated temperament traits. It was found that the women with accentuated emotional instability demonstrated the higher psychoemotional strain that manifested in the most increased personal and reactive anxiety as well as in enhanced pain sensitivity and experience according to the verbal-color association test. The most low blood content of cortisol in these women may be estimated as the evidence of their decreased ability to be adopted. It is possible to conclude that the women with the such temperament accentuation may be considered as the risk group to develop psychosomatic disorders in pregnancy and delivery and need the special prophylaxis.
