Body appreciation and self-efficacy in pregnant women
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a technique called haptonomy—a gentle touch and communication method—to see if it helps pregnant women feel more connected to their bodies and more confident about giving birth. It may be a good fit for healthy first-time moms in their third trimester.
