1. Excessive stress in pregnant women can easily lead to abortion. If the stress during pregnancy is too high, pregnant women will release a lot of hormones, leading to spontaneous abortion. The content of cortisol in pregnant women with high stress increased significantly. Cortisol is a hormone that inhibits the secretion of progesterone, which is essential to maintain a healthy pregnancy process. Therefore, injecting progesterone into stressed pregnant women is helpful to protect the fetus.
2. Excessive nervousness of pregnant women will lead to birth defects. Women's mental stress during pregnancy will lead to birth defects, especially babies born to women who have experienced "major changes" during pregnancy, and the chances of suffering from cleft palate, harelip, hearing loss and congenital heart disease are much higher than other babies. For example, if a woman's parents died and had a heart attack within 16 months before and during pregnancy, it would be a "major change".
3. Mental stress of pregnant women affects fetal growth. The inner pressure of pregnant women will hinder the growth of the fetus, which often begins as early as the second or third month. Babies born to stressed women are also much lighter than those born to pregnant women with light psychological stress.
4, pregnant women are under great pressure, and children are prone to heart disease and diabetes. After a pregnant woman suffered an unfortunate incident that caused severe mental stress, her children were relatively more likely to have insulin-dependent diabetes. However, pregnant women often feel that stress will have a negative impact on the nervous system of the fetus and increase the risk of heart disease in the future.
Second, the harm of pregnant women's mental stress to themselves
1, mental stress leads to increased blood pressure in pregnant women. The blood pressure of pregnant women at work is higher than that at work. According to a new study, women who work and are pregnant at the same time have significantly higher blood pressure at work than at home. This will increase the risk of pregnancy-induced hypertension. Hypertension during pregnancy can cause heart, kidney and liver damage, which is potentially dangerous to both mother and fetus.
2, pregnant women's mental stress is easy to lead to "gastrointestinal neurosis." Such pregnant women are usually nervous system functional diseases with gastrointestinal symptoms as the main manifestations caused by nervous system dysfunction. Pregnant women who come to see a doctor often complain of indigestion, fullness, stomachache, or difficulty swallowing, and food is blocked when swallowing. Some patients will have symptoms such as nausea, diarrhea or constipation, and the pregnancy reaction will be aggravated. These symptoms are mostly related to mental and emotional fluctuations. After examination, these people found that most of them had no organic gastrointestinal diseases except a few patients with gastroptosis.
Third, study new discoveries.
1, pregnant women have no pressure, and the baby is sociable. A recent study by Cambridge University shows that if expectant mothers can avoid stress and relax, their babies may be more sociable and become social stars. If the mother feels stressed during pregnancy and can't relax, then the child born will be affected in social, communication and language development, and may even suffer from autism.
This is because different emotions during pregnancy produce different levels of hormones, which leads to this difference. If expectant mothers feel stressed during pregnancy, the male testosterone secreted by the body will increase, which will affect the development of the fetus. According to experts, the fetus will be affected by this emotion when it grows to 13 weeks in the womb. These fetuses affected by their mothers' depression will behave more rigidly than normal babies after birth. Twenty-four hours after birth, they are still not interested in living people, but only interested in mechanical objects; 12 months later, they can't make eye contact with their parents like other children of the same age; 18 months, unable to speak or can only speak sporadic words, while other children can already speak 600 words at this time; After school, I am more withdrawn and less able to play with children.
2. It is easy for women to have girls when they are under great pressure. Girls are more likely to be born when women are under great mental stress. The proportion of boys born to women with great mental stress is 49%, and the proportion of boys born to women with less mental stress is 5 1%. According to the latest research by Danish scientists, most of the children born to women under strong mental pressure are girls. According to the comparative data, 49% women suffer from various mental pressures, and 565,438+0% women suffer from less mental pressures.
Fourth, the causes of psychological stress of pregnant women
There are many reasons for pregnant women's psychological stress, mainly the following:
1, psychology believes that when a woman is pregnant, she will trace her emotional connection with her mother in the experience with her fetus, that is, subconsciously arouse the contradiction between women's love and hate for her mother. If she has a bad relationship with her mother since childhood and is rejected or abused by her mother, she will not be able to form a proper mother's identity, and even be dissatisfied with the fetus in the womb or doubt whether she can be competent as a mother. So I have fear and rejection of pregnancy.
2. Unfortunate marriage or unexpected pregnancy. In this case, the pregnant woman's resentment and dissatisfaction with her spouse or the person who impregnated her is transferred to the fetus in the womb, resulting in the psychology of refusing pregnancy.
3. worry about the change of body shape. Generally speaking, in a marriage based on beauty, women attach great importance to their body shape and appearance. Moreover, pregnancy will change self-image, so pregnancy will often make some women who pay attention to appearance suffer psychological blows, thus worrying that their husbands will change their minds because of their clumsy figure. The more jealous a woman is in love, the more serious this psychological change is.
4. Other psychological pressures. If forced by the outside world or their own expectations of the future baby's sex, it will increase the psychological burden and fear the possible unfortunate ending all day. You may also worry about whether the fetus is normal, financial burden, career difficulties, deprivation of social life, tension between husband and wife and so on. This may cause physical and mental stress.
Pregnant women face one or more of the above psychological crises, which will be reflected emotionally. Emotional changes affect the endocrine disorders of pregnant women, resulting in a series of physical and mental changes. When pregnant women lose their psychological balance, they often feel unwell, tired, anxious, nervous, dependent and eager to be noticed. In severe cases, tachycardia, loss of appetite, jealousy, depression, pessimism and delusion may appear, and some even think that the fetus in the abdomen is dead.
So will pregnant women do this? Director Tian of Shanghai Marriott Hospital explained that this is not the case, because every woman will have some emotional changes during pregnancy, but there are great differences between them, which is closely related to the psychological maturity of women. They have a correct attitude towards the identity of mothers and women and are happier and more natural during pregnancy. When the average woman is pregnant with her first child, the emotional imbalance is more obvious. In the future, because she has more experience and confidence in the role of mother, the imbalance will be greatly reduced.
How verbs (abbreviation of verb) relieve and eliminate mental stress
Experts point out that the less stress during pregnancy, the healthier the pregnant woman and fetus. So, if you are pregnant, you should learn to decompress. Actually, relieving stress is not as difficult as you think. Here are some suggestions on how to control stress:
1, take care. Regular diet, nutritious diet, adequate rest and proper exercise. Don't drink, smoke or take drugs.
2. Don't care too much about stress. It's normal to feel stressed, especially in turbulent times. It is to analyze the causes of stress and take all feasible measures to solve the problems that cause stress.
In order to avoid negative reaction to stress, we should listen to more music. Light and comfortable music can not only cultivate and appreciate people's beauty, but also effectively relax people's spirit. Therefore, pregnant women may wish to listen to more music when coping with stress. Beautiful music can relieve mental fatigue.
3. Arrange your own schedule. It is difficult for many women to refuse everyone's demands. Now is the time to be selfish. Arrange your own schedule so that you have time to do relaxing things. Exercise, meditation, massage therapy, deep breathing exercise and even reading books can relax yourself.
Step 4 ask for help. Surround yourself with love and support. Expand the scope of supporting your friends and family. Insist on helping your family do some routine housework. See if your boss can provide you with prenatal support or ask other employees to support you and provide you with information and help. If you have insomnia, poor appetite, sadness, crying and other problems, or lose interest in some interesting activities, or feel too guilty, you need to talk to an expert about these symptoms almost every day for two weeks. You may suffer from depression.
5. Using some methods beneficial to physical and mental health, such as yoga, massage, etc., can help relieve the stress during pregnancy. This healthy method is good for both pregnant women and fetuses. These methods can stimulate the body's "relaxation response" in a short time, including lowering blood pressure, lowering heart rate and breathing frequency. If you can carry out healthy activities regularly, the body will release endorphins and serotonin, which will improve the body's ability to cope with stress. For pregnant women, this means relaxing muscles, being more able to cope with physical changes, improving the degree of relaxation and reducing pain during childbirth, improving sleep and improving the relationship between mother and baby.
6, pregnant women should not work more than 8 hours a day, and should avoid working at night. When you feel tired at work, if conditions permit, you can rest for about 10 minutes, or you can go outdoors, on the balcony or on the roof to breathe fresh air. Pregnant women who keep a working posture for a long time can change their posture from time to time, such as stretching their arms and moving their feet to relieve fatigue.
7. Taking a leisurely walk is also a good way to rest. For example, after dinner, we insist on taking a walk in the nearby parks, squares, stadiums, fields, wide roads or country roads. Husband and wife had better take a walk together and talk quietly at the same time. In addition to relieving fatigue, it is also a wonderful prescription to regulate and maintain the good mental state of pregnant women, which is beneficial to the physical and mental health of pregnant women and fetuses. But the trip should be moderate, and you should avoid catching a cold, otherwise the loss will outweigh the gain.
