RESULTS
We contacted 97 healthy pregnant women; 24 were excluded
due to either failure to meet the inclusion criteria or declining
to participate.We randomly assigned the remaining 73 pregnant
women (aged 20-35 years) to the PMR group (n=37) or
the control group (n = 36). At the end of the study (8 weeks
later), 66 women (33 per group) had completed the program.
