"Improving mental health during pregnancy is really crucial to global public health."
Research by @RobertGordonUni has found that the wellbeing of expectant mothers can be significantly enhanced by antenatal relaxation classes.
@RMatthewsPsyEdu @ElianeGlaser Hi Rebecca, aim of the study was to explore the influence of the education so those who attended the class were invited to participate. Thanks for the tip on the book.
