Abstract

Maternal-fetal attachment is a crucial developmental phase, where the mother’s emotional and psychological state can significantly impact fetal development. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the effectiveness of Perinatal Interventions in enhancing Maternal Fetal Attachment and Psychological Wellbeing in primigravida mothers. A pretest-posttest control Group Design was used, with 60 participants selected randomly. Data showed significant improvements in both Maternal Fetal Attachment and Psychological Wellbeing scores in the experimental group after the intervention, with a 24.63% increase in psychological well-being. Thus, we show the significance of perinatal interventions in fostering emotional bonds and promoting mental health during pregnancy.
