First seen Feb 21, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 15 times

Summary

This study looks at whether a special type of supportive touch and emotional awareness, called haptonomy, can help pregnant women feel more connected to their unborn baby and more supported by their partner. About 36 pregnant women will be randomly assigned to receive this support from their partner, their own mother, or a midwife over three weekly sessions. The goal is to measure changes in bonding and perceived support using standard questionnaires.
