Mindfulness-Based Childbirth Education for Pregnant Women With Distress

"The intervention was an 8-week mindfulness-based childbirth and parenting education program specifically adapted for pregnant women experiencing prenatal distress. The program included weekly 120-minute online sessions combining formal mindfulness practices (such as mindful breathing, body scan, and sitting meditation), informal exercises (e.g., mindful eating, mindful walking), psychoeducation, group sharing, and guided reflections.~Participants were also asked to complete daily home practice assignments using audio recordings. The content was adapted from the Mindfulness-Based Childbirth and Parenting (MBCP) curriculum and integrated with prenatal education. The intervention was delivered by a trained instructor and tailored to meet the emotional and cognitive needs of expectant mothers."
