Control group
The control group as well as the intervention group were offered usual
antenatal care for pregnant women with a current or a previous history
of depression or anxiety; all received care at the Department of
Obstetrics, Rigshospitalet. This care is free of charge and covers a
coordinated program including lengthier and more frequent prenatal
visits with specialised midwives and obstetricians experienced with
pregnancy and mental health disorders. These visits include guidance on
physical exercise for pregnant women (at least 30 min of moderate
intensity per day unless physical activity is contraindicated).
