This study is looking at whether practicing stressful situations that can happen during labor and delivery can help reduce fear and anxiety for pregnant women. You might be able to join if you are a pregnant woman, 18-44 years old, in your third trimester, and this is your first pregnancy. You must also be planning to deliver at Wake Forest School of Medicine OB/GYN. Participants in the intervention group will practice scenarios like a baby's heart rate dropping or moving to the operating room for an emergency. The researchers will measure your childbirth experience using a questionnaire after delivery, up to two weeks later, to see if the simulations were helpful. The study aims to enroll 50 participants, but its current status is unclear.
