Can how you track Baby's kicks soothe pregnancy stress?

This study looks at whether the way a pregnant woman monitors her baby's movements can influence her stress, anxiety, and emotional bond with the fetus. It compares two self-assessment methods: one where women focus on the character and strength of movements without counting, and another where they count each movement. The trial includes first-time mothers between 28 and 32 weeks of pregnancy with a single, healthy fetus. Over several weeks, the study measures changes in maternal attachment, perceived stress, anxiety, and risk perception to see if one method offers psychological benefits.
