Main Article Content
Abstract
Purpose-Stress, anxiety, negative thoughts, and disrupted sleep of the expectant mother can all have negative effects on the unborn child. The current study looks into whether interventions such as yoga, pranayama, and classical music can improve maternal and foetal mental health. Methods-This comparative clinical study included 134 (67 in each group) pregnant women in total. A questionnaire was created, and parameter grading was performed. This study was conducted between the 18th and 20th weeks of pregnancy up to labour. The Hamilton anxiety scale was used to assess anxiety symptoms. Result-The current study found promising effects of yoga and music on depressive symptoms, maternal well-being, and perceived closeness during pregnancy. Prenatal yoga and music interventions could be a simple and effective way to improve the expectant mother's mood and well-being while also promoting mother-infant bonding. Conclusion-In terms of immediate effects, both interventions had a positive effect on sleep, mood and thoughts, emotional status, and anxiety symptoms.
