About this trial

There is a need for studies with a high level of evidence regarding the effect of supportive care given during the preconceptional period, pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum processes. With this planned study, it is aimed to evaluate the effect of continuous midwife support during pregnancy, birth and postpartum periods, starting from the preconceptional period, on various parameters related to pregnancy, birth and postpartum period. The research is planned as a randomized controlled experimental study. It consists of two groups, the study group and the control group. 75 women out of 150 women will form the control group and 75 women will form the study group. The women in the working group will be given individual training in line with their needs. Data will be collected by using the checklist and many scales used by the control and study groups in preconceptional counseling recommended by ACOG (American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists).

Antenatal Perceived Stress Scale (APSS)

APSS: The perceived stress score during pregnancy is obtained by summing the item scores in the scale and then dividing by the number of items.
