Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Haptonomy	5\. With the energy work, we will move on to the stage of harmonizing the intuitive and heart energy fields. It will be ensured that the mother's communication with her baby has a spiritual dimension as well as a physical one. 6. Then the stage of touching and communicating with the baby will begin. The hands of the researcher and the pregnant woman will be placed on the pregnant woman's uterus. Then, the pregnant woman will be the first to call her baby. This call to the baby will be repeated 2-3 times. 7. The pregnant woman and her uterus will be touched and exercises will be performed to adapt to the fetus. The aim is to increase the emotional awareness of the pregnant woman and to enable her to play intrauterine games with her baby (such as calling the baby, shaking her belly, moving the baby to the touched area with the mother's voice). Haptonomy will be completed with a deep relaxation exercise that will support the heart-uterus connection accompanied by breathing exercises.
