<![CDATA[Anxiety and fear experienced by mothers especially primipara can extend the duration of labor and increase the incidence of labor by action, namely labor with cesarean section (OR 26.9 CI 95%) and vacuum extraction (OR 4.5 CI 95%). Felman et al also found that more than 12% of mothers who had given birth said that they experienced anxiety during childbirth where these experiences were unpleasant times in their lives. Anxiety will be felt differently during pregnancy and third trimester anxiety is higher than the previous trimester. Pregnancy with anxiety will affect the intrauterine environment and fetal development. Anxiety has an opportunity to increase fear three times in labor and a 1.7 times chance to increase the incidence of cesarean.

Yoga in pregnancy is more effective in reducing anxiety and depression ]]>
