Support for Mothers Expecting Babies With Heart Disease
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study offers psychological support to pregnant mothers who have learned their baby has congenital heart disease (a heart condition present at birth). The research tests whether counseling and coping strategies provided before and after birth can help mothers manage stress and anxiety during this challenging time.
