Objective: This descriptive study was conducted to determine the prenatal mother-infant bonding levels of high-risk pregnant women and related factors. Method: A questionnaire was applied to 351 risky pregnant women in a public hospital between 1st August-1st October 2015. Sociodemographic features and Prenatal Bonding Inventory (PBI) scale were included in this form. Data were analyzed with SPSS 16.0 statistical program. Results: There was no significant relationship between the number of pregnancies and PBI scores. It was found that PBI scores of women who willingly got pregnant and became happy when they learned that they were pregnant were statistically significantly high. It was ascertained that mean PBI scores of pregnant women having a planned pregnancy, not intending to terminate, feeling baby movements, and having the desire to see a doctor except for routine controls were significantly high. Conclusion: The number of pregnancies, the willingness of pregnancy, planned pregnancy, thought of termination of pregnancy, the feeling of baby movements, and desire to see a doctor except for routine controls affected the mother-baby bonding.
