Pregnancy is one of the hardest times in the life of a woman. The stress linked with the birth of the first child is classified as severe among psychosocial stress. Global studies show that 10-15% of pregnant women are affected by anxiety and sadness at different levels. Antenatal and depressive diseases are so widespread and significant in pregnancy that over half of all women who are pregnant suffer from prior anxiety. Studies have shown the connection between pregnancy and pregnancy among women's mental health. The above proportion varies with the incidence correspondingly in the second or third trimester of 12 to 15 per cent and 14 per cent. One study shows that 50% of women are pregnant in their 3rd quarter. Many studies have shown that progressive muscle relaxation in the treatment of a number of diseases, including multiple sclerosis pain relief, pulmonary disease anxiety in patients and anxiety, depression, nausea and vomiting in cancer patients, is effective. Moreover, multiple studies have shown that progressive muscle relaxation training may increase QOL, reduce pain and minimise stress for pregnant women with low back pain. However, no research has been done into the impact on prenatal mental health of progressive muscular relaxation. The purpose of this survey is to assess the overall health effect of pregnant women's progressive muscle relaxation, a non pharmacological approach. A combined test comparison showed that there was a significant difference (P 0.001, P 0.001) in the experimental group, but not in the control group, between the mean difference in physical symptoms, angst and sleeplessness, the social functioning and depression before and after intervention. The study demonstrated a significant difference between women's general health in experimental groups in the field of physical, psychological and social components. The data mostly confirmed the hypothesis of the study regarding the effect of relaxation on the overall health of pregnant women. It is therefore proposed, because of its effectiveness, lack of bad effects, especially during pregnancy, or cost-efficacy, that the medication is used by pregnant women
