Plain-language summary

This study aims to determine if a short audio clip about mindfulness implemented during NST appointments can lower pregnant women's levels of anxiety and depression. Subjects will be placed into either the intervention group or a control group. The intervention group will be asked to listen to a short audio clip on mindfulness during their NST appointments, and the control group will receive the standard of care during NST appointments. Subjects will be asked to take two surveys about anxiety and depression three times throughout the study: before the intervention, after the intervention, and 6 weeks postpartum.
