Anxiety has a negative impact on pregnant women from conception to delivery by inhibiting growth and weakening uterine muscle contractions, among other things. Pregnant women who are anxious are more likely to have premature babies and even miscarriage. A lack of information and beliefs about what is valid (myths) can influence pregnant women's attitudes toward childbirth preparation, causing them to be unconcerned about childbirth preparation.
