Summary

To determine the effects of Breathing control vs Alternate nostril breathing on maternal cardiovascular parameters in pregnancy and to determine the effect of breathing control vs Alternate nostril breathing on Fetal Heart rate. Many evidence-based studies show breathing exercises have beneficial and useful effects on the hypertensive population and also have positive effects on pregnancy-induced hypertension.

Conditions
