Summary

Pregnancy is a time of significant adjustment and uncertainty. Anxiety is common among this group and is associated with poor cognitive and physical outcomes for both the mother and child. Few trials have been conducted to ascertain the effectiveness of brief psychological interventions designed to alleviate general anxiety, labour and pregnancy specific anxiety and promote well being.

The aim of this project is to establish if a brief Cognitive Behavioural Therapy treatment is effective in reducing general anxiety during pregnancy. The study will also explore whether the treatment has an impact on reducing pregnancy specific and labour related anxiety and reducing medical intervention.
