Cat videos to ease stress during fetal heart monitoring
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether watching cat videos during a non-stress test (a routine check of your baby's heartbeat) can make the test more comfortable and lower your stress. If you're a first-time mom in your late pregnancy, this simple, pleasant activity might help you relax during monitoring.
