E-health Intervention in Women With Pregnancy Distress

The web-based intervention consists of eight sessions including psycho-education about the mechanisms of stress, coping and relaxation, especially related to pregnancy, practicing mindfulness skills (i.e. mindful breathing, mindful moving, observing and letting-go of thoughts and emotions with a non-judgmental attitude), sharing experiences, and doing home assignments. The sessions have been developed specifically for pregnant women and acknowledge pregnancy-related distress. An online coach will review questions and home assignments of the participants. Women will start the training at 16 weeks gestation.
