Fear of Childbirth - Comparison of Two Treatments

Internet Cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) is given by a psychologist in the U-CARE platform. The intervention will focus on management of childbirth related fear. This means that the participants read texts and do homework assignments instructed from an internet page. Additional resources such as pictures, animations, videos and sounds will be a part of the treatment program. A psychologist will communicate with the participants through internal text-messages and will give feed back on their home work assignments. The content of the intervention will be standard components from CBT, for example relaxation training, behavioral activation, exposure for fear related stimuli, cognitive restructuring, behavioral sleep treatment.
