    i. Summary
    Pregnant women often experience low back pain, hypertension, edema, anemia, and
    other discomforts that trigger the disruption of psychological condition and make
    them vulnerable to depression. This has become big problems especially for midwives
    in attempt to reducing the morbidity and mortality in pregnant women. Some
    researches shows that 2% in the world experienced anxiety and depression due to
    mental disorders during pregnancy stage. Therefore, to prevent depression and other
    mental health problems, pregnant women can practice or apply some exercises or
    therapies such as prenatal yoga. The purpose of this study is to determine the mental
    health conditions of pregnant women who have attended prenatal yoga and to determine
    the effectiveness of prenatal yoga on the mental health conditions of pregnant women.
    Using 7 steps to create Systematic Literature Review, 942 articles from one database
    (PubMed) were selected for critical appraisal. The articles were selected based on a
    quantitative method with a variety of designs. 12 articles that matched the variety criteria
    and considered as good were divided and mapped into several points namely fetal
    response, depression and stress, anxiety, complications, immunity, and self-efficacy.
    These studies used quantitative research methods with various types of study designs
    such as quasi-experiment, case-control, randomized control trial (RCT), and cross-
    sectional. The results whereas a.) Prenatal Yoga for Fetal Response 1 finding from article
    explained the effectiveness of prenatal yoga towards fetal response. The finding suggests
    that there was no significant fetal responses including fetal heart rate (FHR) and blood
    flow to the veins and umbilical arteries in pregnant women that attended prenatal yoga
    program for the first time. b.) The effectiveness of prenatal yoga for depression was found
    in six articles. The first article stated that prenatal yoga was a feasible and acceptable
    application for pregnant women. Subsequent articles from explained that prenatal yoga
    reduced stress and improved autonomic nerve responses. c.) Prenatal Yoga for Anxiety
    The perceived benefits of prenatal yoga on anxiety in pregnant women were found in two
    articles. Article [44] suggests that prenatal yoga could reduce anxiety and discomfort
    during pregnancy rather than just doing regular antenatal examinations. D.) Prenatal Yoga
    for Complications that can occur in pregnancy are feared by pregnant women. The finding
    of a study reported that routinely practicing prenatal yoga could reduce physical pain in
    the second trimester thus significantly reduced fear in the third trimester. E.) Prenatal
    Yoga for Immunity Several articles suggest that prenatal yoga could improve the body's
    immunity. Therefore, pregnant women can feel healthier and stronger. F.) Prenatal Yoga
    for Self-Birth Independence showed that respondents who were given prenatal yoga
    video in the form of compact disks and routinely performed it 2 to 3 times a week
    reported a decreased anxiety and improved body condition. This made the respondents
    confident and more independent in the process of pregnancy and preparation of labor. A
    discussion was made based on the research findings of the selected articles. Research
    suggests that prenatal yoga is safe and have many benefits for pregnant women and their
    babies. The benefit of prenatal yoga are improving nerve response from the pituitary
    gland to reduce cortisol levels, improving mood, inducing positive thinking, reducing
    anxiety, stress, and depression, and increasing the confidence of pregnant women from
    labor until the puerperium.

    ii. Nursing Implications


    • To help the midwives or nurses reduce the mortality and morbidity in pregnant
    women due to mental illness like anxiety and depression.
    • To help the midwives or nurses improve the confidence and individuality of
    pregnant women during pregnancy

    iii. Insights
    Mental health is important as physical health. And in this article I learned that yoga
    have lots of benefits to pregnant women. It doesn’t just increase strength and
    flexibility but it also helps women to decrease mental health problems that causes
    anxiety and depression. Therefore, this prenatal yoga can be very helpful in
    pregnancies when it is used correctly with caution and knowledge.
