Many people believe that pregnancy should be the happiest period in a woman's life. In fact, many expectant mothers will have many troubles during pregnancy. According to statistics, nearly 10% of women have different degrees of depression. It is precisely because of everyone's neglect that the depression of pregnant women is not fully valued and treated in time, which often brings adverse consequences to the fetus. Now, let's analyze how to deal with pregnant women who are in a bad mood?
Why pregnant women are emotionally unstable
Progesterone and estrogen are female hormones regulating the reproductive period, and they are considered to be part of the reason for the changeable mood during pregnancy. But most of the emotional fluctuations during pregnancy are caused by the psychological changes of pregnant women themselves: pregnancy is a huge change for women. You may be ecstatic at the thought of having a baby, and then immediately start worrying about the future.
What are the thoughts that make pregnant women emotionally unstable
In the early pregnancy, women will worry about childbirth and not be prepared for their mothers. At the same time, the fatigue caused by the reaction to early pregnancy and the contradiction with their work will make them afraid of affecting their jobs and positions. In the second trimester, expectant mothers will worry about the health of the fetus. Other minor problems during pregnancy, such as heartburn, fatigue and frequent urination, will bring psychological burden to them. These concerns make pregnancy emotional ups and downs. The fear of pain in the late pregnancy, delivery accidents and the problem of raising the baby after birth are all the reasons that make pregnant women feel upset and depressed.
What effect does pregnant women's bad mood have on their baby
A large number of survey data show that when expectant mothers are in negative emotions such as fear, anger, boredom and sadness, the functions of various parts of the body will change significantly, which will lead to changes in blood composition. Research shows that when the mood is good, pregnant women can secrete some beneficial hormones, enzymes and acetylcholine, which are conducive to the normal growth and development of the baby; When you are in a bad mood, you will produce adrenocortical hormones. These hormones will enter the fetus with the blood circulation, making the fetus have the same mood as the mother. If the mother to be is too nervous, a large amount of adrenocortical hormone will be secreted, which will affect the normal development of the fetal brain through the placenta, and even lead to fetal malformation and premature delivery.
