The goal of this clinical trial is to prevent postpartum depression in pregnant women. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Does the Psychological Empowerment program prevent postpartum depression at 6 weeks after delivery?
2. Does the Psychological Empowerment program improve self-control of the postpartum women at 6 weeks after delivery?
3. Does the Psychological Empowerment program improve the self-efficacy of postpartum women at 6 weeks after delivery?

Researchers will compare the intervention group to a control group with no intervention (routine care) to see if the psychological empowerment program can prevent postpartum depression at 6 weeks after delivery.

Participants in the intervention group will :

* receive 5 sessions in 3 weeks ( 2 sessions per week)
