Material and Methods: A prospective case-control study was conducted regarding the assessment of maternal anxiety levels by means of the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory in 60 pregnant women having genetic amniocentesis and 60 control cases having their early second trimester ultrasonographic screening, 30 minutes before and immediately after the procedure. Additionally, maternal-fetal hemodynamic changes and Doppler ultrasonographic measurements of fetoplacental circulation were recorded in both groups. Results: The maternal anxiety state scores were found to be significantly higher in the amniocentesis group (p
