A term ?quality of life? is a common part of layman vocabulary. This term is relatively new, very controversial and relatively hard to understand. Controversy of this topic is that there is not a commonly accepted definition of quality of life. This thesis is about a qualitylife pregnant women expecting a child with a birth defect. The aim of the thesis is to find out the difference between women expecting healthy newborn and women expecting a child with a Clef Pallet. I concentrate on a psychological state during pregnancy after having found out the diagnosis. The practical part was based on a questionnaire SEIQol and a poll which was designed by the author. The poll was filled in by 50 women. SEIQol experimental file included 20 women and control file included also 20 women. Based on the questionnaire I have evaluated and fulfilled the aim of the thesis. By evaluating it was found out that most of women from control and experimental group have agreed on life values. Based on gender 56% a boy was born. 56% of women agreed that their phycological state was bad and 28% said it was very bad
