Prenatal fear of childbirth is a common health concern that negatively affects the emotional wellbeing of women during pregnancy. Wijma Delivery Expectancy/Experience Questionnaire version A (W-DEQ-A) is used extensively to measure fear of childbirth during pregnancy. Nevertheless, previous studies have not evaluated its psychometric characteristics among the Swahili-speaking pregnant women. Therefore, the aim was to translate and test the validity and reliability of the questionnaire into Swahili as the popular language in Kenya.
