Overview: Times are stressful. Recent evidence has shown that stress, anxiety, and depression experienced by pregnant women may have a negative impact on the wellness of the newborn. Stress management is constrained during pregnancy due to concerns that pharmaceutical approaches may be harmful to the baby. Non-pharmaceutical approaches are accessible and safe. Join us as we review recent evidence on the effectiveness of mind-body interventions (MBI) in reducing stress and decreasing depression and anxiety in pregnant women, and discuss how MBI can be incorporated into patient care.
