Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

102 pregnant women will be randomly divided into 2 groups. Participants in the control group will be given pregnancy counseling that includes only nutrition, walking (3 days a week for 30 minutes), and breathing exercises, and will be called for 1st, 2nd and 3rd month check-ups. In addition to pregnancy counseling, the Qigong group will receive 2 Qigong training sessions, one via Zoom and one face-to-face, and then the training videos of each exercise will be sent via WhatsApp. Paricipants will be asked to do the Qigong exercises at home for 30 minutes, 3 days a week for 12 weeks. These participants will be called for 1-month, 2-month and 3-month check-ups. Blood pressure and sugar measurements will be recorded at the first visit, 1st month, 2nd month and 3rd month check-ups, and patients will also be evaluated with the Pregnancy Physical Activity Questionnaire, Pregnancy Stress Assessment Scale, Pregnancy-related Anxiety Scale, Pregnancy Exercise Self-Efficacy Questionnaire. After the recruitment period the results will be evaluated statistically.
