Support in pregnancy.

Source

Flinders Medical Centre, South Australia.

Abstract

Both observational studies and nonrandomized controlled trials have found the presence of support during pregnancy to be associated with superior outcomes in terms of preventing abortion, extending the length of gestation, and reducing interventions in labor. However, randomized controlled trials of supportive interventions in pregnancy have not demonstrated any physical benefits from the interventions. It is also unlikely there are any significant adverse effects. Psychological benefits do appear to result from supportive interventions, including better enjoyment of the pregnancy and better postnatal status.
