ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how diaphragmatic breathing exercises can help reduce fatigue and improve the quality of life for pregnant women who have gestational diabetes (GDM). GDM is a condition that can make pregnancy more challenging and often leads to tiredness that affects daily activities and overall well-being. The study aims to see if learning to breathe deeply can help these women feel less fatigued and enhance their daily lives.

To participate in this trial, women aged 19 to 35 who are between 24 and 28 weeks pregnant with a single, healthy fetus can apply. They should not have any serious mental or communication issues, and they should not be dealing with any other major health problems or risks during their pregnancy. Participants can expect to learn specific breathing techniques and may find that these exercises help them manage their fatigue better, ultimately leading to a better quality of life during their pregnancy.
