Expectant mothers should pay attention to mental health

After being pregnant, expectant mothers will be in a certain state of tension, which will lead to psychological problems such as confusion, worry and fear. Family members should not ignore these psychological problems, which may affect the health of pregnant women and the growth and development of the fetus. Especially for the women who are pregnant after many years of infertility, unmarried and with a stillborn fetus, the psychological pressure of worry, fear and anxiety is greater than that of the general pregnant women.

Why do expectant mothers have psychological problems? There are many reasons:

1. Early pregnancy reaction: strictly speaking, early pregnancy reaction (pregnancy vomiting) is a symptom caused by the combined action of physical and psychological factors. However, medical experts have found that there is a close relationship between pregnant vomiting and psychological factors. If pregnant women dislike pregnancy, the vast majority of them will be pregnant with vomiting and weight loss. If pregnant women are exposed to their own personality, their psychological and emotional changes are great, they will have severe pregnant with vomiting and other reactions.

2. Psychological tension: some pregnant women and their relatives are eager for their children, and they are at a loss about their future life, because of the worries about housing, income, baby care and other issues, which lead to high psychological tension.

3. Excessive worry: some pregnant women have no scientific understanding of pregnancy, which is easy to produce a contradictory psychology of both joy and worry. They always doubt whether their bodies are competent for the task of pregnancy and whether the fetus is normal. They will refuse any medicine for thousands of miles.

These bad emotions often appear. Due to self-regulation, expectant mothers should realize that pregnancy, childbirth and lactation are all normal physiological phenomena, and they must be able to live through them smoothly and have a healthy, lively, intelligent and lovely child. We should keep a stable state of mind, treat problems in life and work correctly, keep optimistic mood, adjust mood, and make material preparation to disperse tension. There are several ways to maintain and adjust bad emotions:

1. Get rid of over dependence: there is no doubt that it is not harmful for women in the second trimester to do some proper work and participate in some gentle sports. But some pregnant women are reluctant to move because of their body shape. They don't do anything every day. Their husbands are responsible for everything. They think it will be beneficial to the fetus. But it is easy to cause depression, depression and loneliness, which is not good for the fetus.

2. Reduce the fear of childbirth: Although there is still a distance from the middle of childbirth, but after all, it makes pregnant women feel a kind of pressure, and some pregnant women will start to feel panic from this time. This is because she listened to the rumors of how painful childbirth was, or because she was excessively exaggerated by the film and television wounds.

3. Release your troubles: you can tell your troubles to your close friends, or write letters or diaries. This method can adjust the mood of pregnant women very effectively. If necessary, consult and guide a psychologist.

4. Transfer emotions: when there is worry, tension, depression or boredom in your mind, do something happy or like, such as watering flowers, listening to music, enjoying picture books, reading or going on an outing. The emotion caused by natural beauty will make pregnant women's interest in life increase. Taking a warm bath or doing housework in moderation will also eliminate the bad mood of pregnant women by promoting blood circulation.
