Summary

This study tests a virtual psychological support program called HeartGPS for mothers whose babies are diagnosed with congenital heart disease before birth. About 210 mothers and their infants will take part, with some receiving the program plus usual care and others only usual care. The goal is to see if the program reduces maternal anxiety during pregnancy and after delivery.
