stress during pregnancy is common and has been linked to a range of poorer maternal and infant outcomes. Treatment options are few, however, due to difficulties of diagnosis and concerns about the impact of medication on the developing fetus. Singing is an activity with stress reducing and other benefits that may be worth exploring. The aim of this study was to explore the impact of singing lullabies during pregnancy.
participants were recruited at antenatal classes at a metropolitan maternity hospital in Ireland. Six pregnant women participated and learnt to sing three lullabies over four group sessions with musicians. Qualitative in depth interviews were conducted approximately three months later to capture the women's experiences.
participants unanimously reported a sense of satisfaction with their participation and all would recommend the programme to a friend. Findings suggest that learning to sing lullabies in pregnancy benefited women in terms of relaxation, in feeling closer to their infants, in connecting with other pregnant women and in providing an additional tool for communication in the early newborn period. Some women described profound feelings of love and connection with the unborn infant while singing the lullabies.
the principal value of this intervention is that it is non-pharmacological and easy to implement. At the same time, it appears to be an enjoyable exercise for pregnant women and to have an effect on reducing maternal stress and encouraging infant attachment.
孕期压力很常见，已被证实与一系列较差的母婴结局有关。然而，由于诊断困难以及担心药物对发育中胎儿的影响，治疗选择有限。唱歌是一种具有减压和其他益处的活动，值得探索。本研究旨在探讨孕期唱摇篮曲的影响。
参与者在爱尔兰一家大都市妇产医院的产前班招募。6 名孕妇参加了由音乐家组织的 4 次小组课程，学习了 3 首摇篮曲。大约三个月后，进行了深入的定性访谈，以捕捉女性的体验。
参与者一致报告对参与感到满意，并且都愿意向朋友推荐该计划。研究结果表明，在怀孕期间学习唱摇篮曲可以使女性在放松、与婴儿更亲近、与其他孕妇建立联系以及为新生儿早期提供额外的沟通工具方面受益。一些女性在唱摇篮曲时描述了与未出生婴儿的强烈爱意和联系。
该干预措施的主要价值在于它是非药物性的，易于实施。同时，它似乎是孕妇喜爱的一种锻炼方式，可减轻母亲的压力并鼓励婴儿依恋。
