Can mindfulness classes calm anxious moms and shape baby brains?

NCT ID NCT04327557

Summary

This study is testing whether a special mindfulness-based childbirth and parenting class is better than a standard class at reducing anxiety in pregnant women. It will enroll 60 pregnant women with elevated anxiety and randomly assign them to one of the two class types. The researchers will measure the mothers' stress, anxiety, and parenting skills, and also scan the babies' brains at one month old to see if there are any differences.
