Abstract

Pregnancy is a very special time in a woman’s life, a time of physical and psychological change. Often anxiety and negative emotions prevent to fully enjoy this magical moment and hamper the well-being, negatively influence obstetric outcomes, development of the child and neonatal adaptation. BenEssere Mamma aims to improve pregnant wellbeing, helping women to be conscious of their affective state and to learn strategies to better cope with anxiety and stress. BenEssere Mamma consists of a brief self-help protocol containing inspired mindfulness meditation and guided imagery exercises for a total of four weeks. This study reports a brief user experience (Beta Version) among pregnant women, delivered by mobile devices. Twelve mothers-to-be experienced a 7-days study and filled two online ad hoc questionnaires. The application was perceived easy to use. Exercises were assessed as pleasant and quite effective.
