Abstract
High-risk pregnancies are not only physically challenging but also mentally and emotionally demanding for expecting mothers. Women in this category often experience heightened anxiety, depression, stress, and fear due to the possibility of complications such as preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, premature labor, or fetal distress. Psychological support has been recognized as a vital component of comprehensive maternal care, particularly when delivered through midwifery practice. This research explores the multidimensional role of midwives in providing mental health support during high-risk pregnancies, emphasizing their contribution through counseling, emotional reassurance, family-centered strategies, and evidence-based psychological interventions. The findings demonstrate that when psychological care is integrated with clinical management, there is a significant reduction in maternal anxiety and depression levels, improvement in adherence to medical advice, and enhancement of overall pregnancy outcomes.
