Mitigating Stress in Pregnant Women Study

This study is looking at ways to help pregnant women manage stress. It will involve exposing participants to a video to see how their bodies react to stress and relaxation. You will also practice stress management techniques at home. The goal is to understand how stress affects pregnant women and how it can be reduced, especially for those who experience a lot of stress. We're looking for women between 21 and 37 years old who are at least 24 weeks pregnant. The main goal is to see how stress levels change over 4 to 8 weeks. The study is currently recruiting 50 participants, but its overall status is unclear.
