The 'Born Bonded' programme: an antenatal service evaluation
A service evaluation of an antenatal programme to improve 'bonding' with the unborn child is described. This was an attempt to see if Comfort Zone which was previously found to be useful by parents could also be helpful as part of an antenatal programme. As this was a preliminary investigation pragmatism was prioritised over a robust design. However given the limitations in the measures used all participants reported either the same or an improved bond with their unborn child. Further research is required to gather evidence for the effectiveness of Comfort Zone and its usefulness antenatally.
