Brief Summary

Pregnancy is a natural but complex period in a woman's life that requires a process of adaptation to physiological, psychological and social changes. The woman first goes through a process of adaptation to pregnancy and then to motherhood. Deep Relaxation exercises, which is a low-cost and non-pharmacological method, can be effective in supporting maternal-fetal attachment and improving the perception of pregnancy. A total of 80 pregnant women (40 deep relaxation excercises and 40 control) are planned to be included in the study. Data will be collected with the 'Personel Description Form', 'Maternal Antenatal Attachment Scale (MAAS)' and 'the Pregnancy Self Perception Scale'.
