The Effect of Progressive Relaxation Exercise

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effect of a childbirth preparation program that includes progressive relaxation exercises on pregnant women's preferences for mode of delivery, their experience of labour pain, and breastfeeding comfort. Participants in the intervention group will receive a specially developed educational booklet and an audio CD with guided exercises, along with face-to-face training sessions. The control group will receive standard prenatal care. The study will help determine whether relaxation-based training can support women in coping with labour more comfortably and influence their choices and early postpartum experiences.
