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.
