Mindfulness yoga during pregnancy for psychiatrically at-risk women: preliminary results from a pilot feasibility study
Open accessAbstract
Prenatal psychopathology may have an adverse impact on mother and baby, but few women receive treatment. We offered a 10-week mindfulness yoga (M-Yoga) intervention to psychiatrically high-risk pregnant women as an alternative to pharmacological treatment. Participants (N = 18) were primiparous, 12-26 weeks pregnant, and had elevated scores (>9) on the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Screen at baseline. In addition to a baseline diagnostic assessment, women completed self-ratings on depression, mindfulness, and maternal-fetal attachment before and after M-Yoga. Findings suggest that M-Yoga was feasible, accepted and effective. Symptoms of depression were significantly reduced (p = 0.025), while mindfulness (p = 0.007) and maternal-fetal attachment (p = 0.000) significantly increased. Overall, this pilot study is the first to demonstrate that M-Yoga may be an effective treatment alternative or augmentation to pharmacotherapy for pregnant women at high risk for psychopathology.

Mindfulness-based interventions are effective treatments for reducing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress in pregnant women.
“Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) have recently come into focus as effective treatments for reducing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress in the general population (41, 42) and in pregnant women (43–47), combining elements of CBT and psychoeducational content.”

The Results (page unavailable) report reduced depressive symptoms after mindfulness yoga in a small group of psychiatrically at-risk pregnant women. The Introduction reports earlier findings of reduced stress and anxiety, but the Discussion calls this study’s evidence for depression improvement preliminary. Together, these passages do not establish MBIs as effective treatments for all three symptoms in pregnant women generally. (LLM, conf=0.86)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredMindfulness seems to have an enhancing effect on maternal foetal attachment.
“Mindfulness seems to have an enhancing effect on maternal self-efficacy [12, 13], self-compassion [11, 13], maternal foetal attachment [16] and women’s well-being [10].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
