First seen Jan 07, 2026 · Last updated Jun 17, 2026 · Updated 34 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a technique called haptonomy—using gentle touch to bond with the baby—can reduce fear of childbirth and increase emotional attachment for first-time mothers and their partners. About 144 couples will be randomly assigned to receive haptonomy sessions or standard care. The goal is to see if this simple, non-drug approach can make pregnancy less scary and more connected.
