The Effect of Diaphragmatic Breathing Exercises on Fetal Anxiety and Coping With Prenatal Stress

Diaphragmatic breathing exercise training was given individually to each pregnant women in the experimental group by one of the trained researchers. Two weeks after the first application, the researcher made the pregnant woman repeat the application 2 days a week via video call. Thus, a total of five diaphragmatic breathing exercises were applied to pregnant women in the experimental group during two weeks. They continued to do breathing exercises for 20-30 minutes a day for ten minutes each day for two weeks as they could tolerate.
