Causes of prenatal anxiety
According to the survey, 98% of pregnant women have anxiety in the third trimester, which is caused by many reasons:
1, urban women are mostly primiparas and lack direct experience in production. From TV, newspapers and other media, I have heard and witnessed many painful experiences of other people's production. Considering that I will go through this process, I can't help feeling anxious.
I'm afraid my child will be deformed.
3. Concerns about the sex of the fetus.
4. Pregnant women with pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome, pregnancy complicated with heart disease and other prenatal complications are prone to anxiety because of their own health problems.
5, due to the aggravation of various discomfort symptoms in the third trimester, such as itchy skin, tight abdominal skin, swelling and other discomfort, the heart is restless.
6. Due to mobility difficulties, staying at home all day, paying attention to various negative factors and aggravating anxiety.
7. Worried that the career will be affected or the family economic pressure will increase after the child is born, resulting in anxiety.
The Negative Effects of Prenatal Anxiety
Pregnant women with severe anxiety are often accompanied by malignant pregnancy vomiting. It can also lead to premature delivery and miscarriage. The psychological state of pregnant women will directly affect the delivery process and fetal status, such as prolonged labor process, neonatal asphyxia, perinatal complications after delivery and so on. Anxiety can also increase the secretion of adrenaline in pregnant women, leading to metabolic acidosis and intrauterine hypoxia. Anxiety can also cause autonomic nervous disorder, leading to uterine inertia and dystocia. Because of anxiety, not getting enough rest and nutrition will cause delayed delivery.
How to eliminate prenatal anxiety
Pregnant women should eliminate prenatal anxiety in the third trimester with a positive attitude, which of course requires the joint efforts of pregnant women and their families.
1. In the last stage of pregnancy, pregnant women often show strong psychological dependence, hoping to seek protection and attract others' attention. This reaction is not effeminacy, but a normal psychological reaction. Pregnant women may talk endlessly, which is a reasonable channel to vent their bad emotions. At this time, the husband should understand his wife's mood swings, listen patiently, give her spiritual encouragement and comfort, and dispel her worries, especially don't put pressure on her about the child's gender.
2. Tight abdominal wall will bring all kinds of discomfort to pregnant women. The husband can caress his wife's abdomen at night, on the one hand, he will communicate with the baby he has never met, on the other hand, he will relieve his wife's discomfort, satisfy her sense of dependence and improve her anxiety.
3. Pregnant women should learn relevant knowledge, increase their understanding of themselves, enhance their self-confidence in giving birth to a healthy baby, and correct their incorrect understanding of production. Pregnant women with prenatal complications should actively treat complications, maintain close relationship with doctors, consult in time when problems arise, and maintain a good mood.
4. Talk to some mothers and get some experience.
Do some healthy activities before labor, such as knitting, painting, singing, walking, etc. Don't stay at home with the door closed, lie in bed all day and concentrate on worrying about the future.
