Abstract
The study aims to explore, review and report the effects of music stimulation among pregnant women. Music therapy is the clinical and evidence-based use of music to complete the individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship by a professional who has completed an approved music therapy program (American Music Therapy Association definition, 2005). Studies found that music increases the unborn child’s intelligence; sound stimulation enhances the brain’s maturation (McMahon, Wintermark, & Lahaina, 2012); the Mozart effect boosts creativity; and in utero listening to lullabies improves prenatal and postnatal sleeping habits (Wolfgang, 2016). The study aims to explore the effects of music stimulation on psychophysiological problems. Music-related bonding, prenatal sound stimulation to trigger learning processes, pedagogical effects, an evolutionary perspective of music, and brain maturation among pregnant women psycho physiological problems among pregnant women were discussed in this study. The effects of music on pregnant women are powerful to overcome psycho-physiological mechanisms (Akmese& Oran, 2014). Studies also discover how sound, rhythm, neural maturation, neuroplasticity, epigenetic processes, and cognitive development to music in prenatal care, benefit medical and academic performance (Mastnak, 2016). Music therapy affects the endocrine, autonomic, cognitive, and emotional domains of the human stress response. Music Therapy can also be utilized with healthy individuals to improve overall wellness (Scheve, 2004). Music has been utilized to provide quiet and relaxation for centuries and all across the world. These are the most extensively researched effects of music (Chanda & Levitin, 2013; de Witte et al., 2020a; Juslin&Vastfjall, 2008; Koelsch, 2015; Mehr et al., 2019). As a result, music therapy interventions are increasingly being used to reduce stress and improve client well-being across a wide range of clinical populations (Agres et al., 2020; Bainbridge et al., 2020; Juslin&Västfjäll, 2008; Kemper &Danhauer, 2005; Koelsch, 2012, 2015; Landis-Shack et al., 2017; Thaut&Hoemberg, 2014).
