Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to determine the acute effects of motor imagery exercises on fetal heart rate, uterine contractions, maternal heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation and well-being in high-risk pregnant women.

Conditions

Pregnancy, High Risk

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Maternal self well-being

  Well-being will be assessed on a numbered classification scale-11. '0' indicates worse self well-being, '10' indicates excellent self well-being.

  at baseline

Secondary Outcomes (19)

• Maternal self well-being

  immediately after intervention

• Maternal heart rate

  at baseline

• Maternal heart rate

  in the 7th minutes of the intervention

• Maternal heart rate

  immediately after intervention

• Maternal blood pressure (systolic pressure)

  at baseline

Study Arms (2)

Motor Imagery Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Risky pregnant women who have completed the 12th week of pregnancy, received inpatient treatment and have any of the following risk factors will be included in the study: * Pregnant women who are at risk for obstetric outcomes such as cervical insufficiency, multiple pregnancy and uncontrolled gestational diabetes, and physical activity restriction is recommended due to these conditions, and exercise is contraindicated, * Pregnant women with a maternal body mass index above 30, which causes them to be physically inactive

Other: Motor imagery; Other: Diaphragmatic breathing

Control Group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Risky pregnant women who have completed the 12th week of pregnancy, received inpatient treatment and have any of the following risk factors will be included in the study: * Pregnant women who are at risk for obstetric outcomes such as cervical insufficiency, multiple pregnancy and uncontrolled gestational diabetes, and physical activity restriction is recommended due to these conditions, and exercise is contraindicated, * Pregnant women with a maternal body mass index above 30, which causes them to be physically inactive

Other: Diaphragmatic breathing

Interventions

Motor imagery OTHER

Motor imagery will be performed according to the PETTLEP (Physical,Environment,Task,Time,Learn,Emotion,Perspective) model for 15 minutes. 1. To imagine walking activity in different environments (seaside, beach, walking path). 2. The rest activity will be imagined by sitting on a bench. 3. Upper extremity strengthening exercises with dumbbells, lower extremity strengthening exercises with elastic band and trunk-oriented bridging, posterior pelvic tilt and table top stabilization exercises will be visualized. 4. The rest activity will be imagined by sitting on a bench. 5. Imagination will end with homecoming and domestic activities.

Motor Imagery Group

Diaphragmatic breathing OTHER

Diaphragmatic breathing will be shown to pregnant women in the supine position, eyes closed, with one hand on the chest and the other hand on the abdomen. This practice will last for five minutes.

• Pregnant women with severe cardiovascular, pulmonary and systemic disorders
• Pregnant women with psychological seizure disorders
• Pregnant women who do not have any mental problems that prevent cooperation and understanding
• Pregnant women with any medical condition that prevents the safe and effective implementation of interventions.
• Pregnant women in other high-risk groups (such as early membrane rupture, placenta previa, preeclampsia) that may have early intervention in terms of obstetric outcomes.
