Home kit boosts emotional bond between parents and unborn baby

NCT ID NCT07692100

First seen Jul 09, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a program called the Maternal-Fetal Attachment Kit (MaKit) designed to help pregnant women and their partners feel more emotionally connected to their unborn baby. Thirty couples attending antenatal care in Indonesia are split into two groups: one receives standard care plus MaKit, the other standard care only. MaKit provides structured home activities for both parents to nurture bonding. The goal is to see if this simple, couple-focused approach can improve emotional attachment during pregnancy.

Active substance
Maternal-Fetal Attachment Kit (MaKit) – a home-based psychosocial intervention with structured activities for expectant couples
What this could lead to
If effective, MaKit could offer a simple, low-cost way for clinics to help parents bond emotionally with their baby during pregnancy, improving well-being and readiness for parenthood.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early study with only 30 couples at one clinic in Indonesia. Larger, more diverse trials are needed to confirm the benefits and see if they last after birth.
