Summary

This study tested whether an online mindfulness program could help pregnant women cope with fear of childbirth and feel more satisfied with their birth. Thirty-eight first-time pregnant women took part, with some receiving six online mindfulness sessions. The researchers measured fear levels before and after birth, as well as birth satisfaction. The goal was to see if this simple, at-home training could make a difference.

What this could lead to
